How we handle shower tray repair in Port Isaac
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. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Port Isaac and across Cornwall.

Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

When to call us in Port Isaac
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips on the edges
- Chips caused during fitting
- Cracks running from the waste

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire 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.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price

Advice
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What affects the price in Port Isaac
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Port Isaac, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Questions from Port Isaac
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you come to Port Isaac?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Port Isaac for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
