Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Whitecross, Cornwall
Damaged shower tray in Whitecross? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that flexes
- Chips on the edges
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Shower tray repair in Whitecross without replacing anything
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. If you’re dealing with a damaged area around the waste and a cracked shower tray, we can help, on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Whitecross. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TR20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Whitecross
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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

FAQs for Whitecross
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you come to Whitecross?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Whitecross for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
