Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How we handle shower tray repair in Doniford
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about chipped corners or rims and chips caused during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Doniford
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Doniford, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Do you need shower tray repair in Doniford?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips on the edges
- A cracked shower tray

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there a guarantee?

How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What else we do in Doniford
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
