How we handle shower tray repair in Carkeel
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and chips caused during fitting, we can help, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
FAQs for Carkeel
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Carkeel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole shower tray
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What else we do in Carkeel
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
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.

Common reasons people in Carkeel contact us are:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches in the surface
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
