About our shower tray repair in Porthtowan

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Porthtowan
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Porthtowan. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we are called out for in Porthtowan
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that flexes
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Cracks running from the waste
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

What happens on the day

- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
