Shower Tray Repair for Gunwalloe homes
Shower tray repair across Gunwalloe and nearby, usually in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Shower tray repair in Gunwalloe without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We are frequently asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches in the surface, on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gunwalloe and across Cornwall.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What else we do in Gunwalloe
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gunwalloe. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
