Shower tray repair for Box's Shop homes

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Shower tray repair at your home in Box's Shop

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and a damaged area around the waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Box's Shop. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Box's Shop

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

If you are in Box's Shop and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Box's Shop: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

Across the UK, and that includes Box's Shop. Prices don’t change with location.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
