You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.

Questions from St Ives
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in St Ives?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you come to St Ives?
We do. Repair technicians travel to St Ives from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Repair or replace in St Ives?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Advice
Common problems we fix in St Ives
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in St Ives and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Ives
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
