How we handle shower tray repair in St Ive
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and edge chips from dropped bottles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What we are called out for in St Ive
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that flexes
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to St Ive. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in St Ive, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Questions from St Ive
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in St Ive?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
