How we handle shower tray repair in St Merryn
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and damage around the waste, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in St Merryn, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Repairing versus replacing in St Merryn
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
