Shower tray repair at your home in St Erme
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are cracks running from the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common questions in St Erme
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Everywhere in the UK, St Erme included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in St Erme?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work in St Erme?
We do. Technicians travel to St Erme from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Erme as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When to call us in St Erme
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
