DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
About our shower tray repair in Harlyn
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and movement when you stand on it, on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Harlyn and across Cornwall.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Harlyn. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
