Repairing versus replacing in Higher Dimson
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Shower tray repair in Higher Dimson, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are damage from a refit or building work and scratches from cleaning or grit.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Higher Dimson and across Cornwall.

When to call us in Higher Dimson
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips on the edges
- A crack across the base

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Higher Dimson, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would 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 the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
