Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing in Wheal Kitty, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Staining and dullness across the tray

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. 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.
Shower tray repair in Wheal Kitty, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to get a fixed quote

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Wheal Kitty and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Wheal Kitty: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Wheal Kitty?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Related advice
Signs you need shower tray repair in Wheal Kitty
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Movement when you stand on it

- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
