How we handle shower tray repair in Tideford
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Whether it’s a crack across the base and staining and dullness across the tray, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry

What else we do in Tideford
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Tideford questions
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
