About our shower tray repair in Gwavas
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and a crack across the base.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

FAQs for Gwavas
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
Across the UK, so Gwavas is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gwavas. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

Before you book anyone

- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
