Shower tray repair in Bude, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and movement when you stand on it.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bude and across Cornwall.

Questions from Bude
Do you work in Bude?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bude. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Bude?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

What we’re called out for in Bude
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bude use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Getting a price from photos

- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
