Shower tray repair in Camborne without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s a crack across the base and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can normally put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

Do you need shower tray repair in Camborne?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Cracks running from the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Camborne. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

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 repairs are matched to the gel coat.
FAQs for Camborne
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the 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 entire tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
