Shower tray repair in St Ive Cross without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We’re frequently asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, in enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months in St Ive Cross and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from St Ive Cross
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Signs you need shower tray repair in St Ive Cross
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for St Ive Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
