What affects the price in Gwithian
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gwithian. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How we handle shower tray repair in Gwithian
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, across acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

FAQs for Gwithian
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it 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, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gwithian
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
What we’re called out for in Gwithian
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that flexes
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work
