Shower tray repair at your home in Boscastle
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and a damaged area around the waste.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t 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.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What else we do in Boscastle
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not 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 trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Boscastle

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Boscastle. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Boscastle get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
