Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Your questions about shower tray repair in St Austell
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Austell as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When to call us in St Austell
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Movement when you stand on it
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
