Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

FAQs for Bossiney

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bossiney.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Bossiney

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Bossiney, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
