DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
What you get with us
- One price list for the whole UK

Kenwyn: your questions answered
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Kenwyn?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material 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.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
