Shower tray repair in Pentewan without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Repairing versus replacing in Pentewan
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Same prices wherever you are

What we’re called out for in Pentewan
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

- Scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners or rims
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Questions from Pentewan
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you cover Pentewan?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Pentewan from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Pentewan?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pentewan
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
