About our shower tray repair in Starcross
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are chips or cracks by the plughole and staining and dullness across the tray.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Starcross
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Landlord and trade work in Starcross
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Starcross questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are there extra charges for Starcross?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
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, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Starcross
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
