How we handle shower tray repair in Crafthole
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and a cracked shower tray, on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What else we do in Crafthole
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Crafthole: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you come to Crafthole?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Crafthole and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Crafthole?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
