About our shower tray repair in Perranporth
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that flexes and damage from a refit or building work.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Perranporth questions
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you work in Perranporth?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Perranporth and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When to call us in Perranporth
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges
- A damaged area around the waste
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
- How soon you can use it again
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Perranporth, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
