Shower tray repair in Padstow, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are frequently asked to fix cracks running from the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

The tray is usually 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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Padstow

  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Padstow questions

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

Everywhere in the UK, Padstow included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you cover Padstow?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Padstow. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
