How we handle shower tray repair in Mevagissey
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 crack does not come back. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and chipped corners or rims, we can generally put it right, on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should you replace it?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Mevagissey
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you need shower tray repair in Mevagissey?
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A cracked shower tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips on the edges
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Other services in Mevagissey
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL26 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
