How we handle shower tray repair in Helland
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about staining and dullness across the tray and chips or cracks by the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Helland
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

How much does shower tray repair cost in Helland?

Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse away soap after showering
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What shower tray repair costs

- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Landlord and trade work in Helland
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
