What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Foxhole questions
Are there extra charges for Foxhole?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Foxhole?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL26 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
