Your questions about shower tray repair in Mount Ambrose
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What we are called out for in Mount Ambrose
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mount Ambrose as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repair or replace in Mount Ambrose?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Take a look at our pricing.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
