DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Porthilly. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PL27 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
