Shower tray repair in Wadebridge, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. If you’re dealing with scratches in the surface and cracks running from the waste, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What else we do in Wadebridge
Signs you need shower tray repair in Wadebridge
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chipped corners or rims

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What affects the price in Wadebridge
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wadebridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Wadebridge and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
FAQs for Wadebridge
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
