Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

About our shower tray repair in Bodmin
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a cracked shower tray, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When to call us in Bodmin
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Movement when you stand on it
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
Landlord and trade work in Bodmin
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bodmin use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bodmin. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
