Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Blackwater, Cornwall
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing at your home in Blackwater, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips caused during fitting
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle shower tray repair in Blackwater
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused during fitting and a dull, stained or worn surface.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Blackwater as everywhere else we work.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What affects the price in Blackwater
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TR4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackwater
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Blackwater, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Common questions in Blackwater
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you come to Blackwater?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Blackwater. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cornwall.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What else we do in Blackwater
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
