Shower tray repair in Rame without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and a dull, stained or worn surface, on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Rame

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Rame?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rame as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
