How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carbis Bay as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Same prices wherever you are
- No need to remove anything

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Common questions in Carbis Bay
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
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’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Carbis Bay
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Movement when you stand on it
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
