How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
About our shower tray repair in Garras
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and a cracked shower tray, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What else we do in Garras
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

FAQs for Garras
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Garras.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
