Shower Tray Repair for Porkellis homes
Shower tray repair across Porkellis and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners or rims
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
About our shower tray repair in Porkellis
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you’re dealing with a crack across the base and chips on the edges, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Porkellis. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive

- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
