Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
St Erth questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Signs you need shower tray repair in St Erth
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically along the edges or by the waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A cracked shower tray
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Erth
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Erth use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
