DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle shower tray repair in Nancledra
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked shower tray and scratches in the surface.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Nancledra: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
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 Nancledra
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips on the edges
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Before booking anyone
- How to care for the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
