When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel

Shower tray repair in South Petherwin, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and scratches from cleaning or grit, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Petherwin
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Repairing versus replacing in South Petherwin
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about shower tray repair in South Petherwin
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Common problems we fix in South Petherwin
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
