If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Your questions about shower tray repair in Lower Porthpean
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover Lower Porthpean?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lower Porthpean from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How long before I can shower?
Normally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
