Shower tray repair in Porcupine, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about staining and dullness across the tray and a crack across the base.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Porcupine
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why Porcupine clients choose us
- Colour-matched on site
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- No need to remove anything

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Porcupine. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
For a price in Porcupine, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
