How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What we are called out for in Piece

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Piece: your questions answered

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Piece use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
