Shower tray repair at your home in White Cross
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in White Cross and across Cornwall.

FAQs for White Cross
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in White Cross.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole 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.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
What we are called out for in White Cross
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scuffs and light scratches
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
