How we handle shower tray repair in Helford
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We are often asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Helford
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Helford and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. 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.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Landlord and trade work in Helford
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 to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
