Shower Tray Repair for Hick's Mill homes
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing in Hick's Mill, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Movement when you stand on it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
How we handle shower tray repair in Hick's Mill
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches from cleaning or grit.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hick's Mill and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Hick's Mill
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Hick's Mill, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Common problems we fix in Hick's Mill
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Common reasons people in Hick's Mill contact us include:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hick's Mill
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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Common questions in Hick's Mill
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
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.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
Everywhere in the UK, Hick's Mill included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
