How we handle shower tray repair in Hele
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We are often asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hele and across Cornwall.

Repairing versus replacing in Hele
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Hele
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
Everywhere in the UK, Hele included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are there extra charges for Hele?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Different materials, different repairs
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 trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
