Shower tray repair in Saltash, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and edge chips from dropped bottles.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

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:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
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 are filled and matched to the surface.
