Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Penmarth questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Penmarth?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TR16 postcode.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work in Penmarth?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Penmarth and the rest of Cornwall. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Penmarth. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after 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 reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Most clients in Penmarth get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Penmarth
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that flexes
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penmarth as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
