What else we do in Porthleven
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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 entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Porthleven
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Porthleven, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
When to call us in Porthleven
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Porthleven questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
