A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, in enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lostwithiel
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Common questions in Lostwithiel
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.
Common problems we fix in Lostwithiel
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that flexes
- Chipped corners or rims
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
