How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- 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.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Calstock. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Questions from Calstock
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Calstock?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin

What we’re called out for in Calstock
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that flexes
- A crack across the base
