About our shower tray repair in Porth
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

We cover every part of TR7 and the streets around it. We regularly work on streets such as Veor Road, Praze Road and Lewarne Road and the roads around them.

Well-known places in the area include Newquay Heritage Archive And Museum (0.7 miles south-west) and Newquay Community Hospital (1.1 miles south-west).
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in Porth
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips on the edges
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our prices page.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

FAQs for Porth
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Porth?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR7 postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
