Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Venterdon, Cornwall
Local shower tray repair for Venterdon: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Cracks running from the waste
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Shower tray repair in Venterdon, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and a cracked shower tray, in enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Venterdon
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Venterdon

What we’re called out for in Venterdon
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. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Before you book anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Venterdon, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Venterdon. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Venterdon
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
