Shower tray repair near Mawgan

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Shower tray repair in Mawgan without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Mawgan questions

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Mawgan. Prices don’t change with location.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic

What affects the price in Mawgan

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
