Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Portscatho, Cornwall
Fixed-price shower tray repair in Portscatho and the surrounding area, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Cracks running from the waste
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Shower tray repair in Portscatho, done in place
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 repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and chips on the edges.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What affects the price in Portscatho
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Portscatho. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Portscatho
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A cracked shower tray
- Damage around the waste

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
