Shower tray repair in Higher Downs, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and damage from a refit or building work, across enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

What else we do in Higher Downs
Landlords, agents and businesses in Higher Downs
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Higher Downs
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
