Shower tray repair at your home in Grampound
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and cracks running from the waste.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Grampound. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Grampound
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
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.
