Shower tray repair in St Ives

Your questions about shower tray repair in St Ives

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Shower tray repair in St Ives, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and chipped corners or rims.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in St Ives as everywhere else we work.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Ives

If you manage property in St Ives, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When to call us in St Ives

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not 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 photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
