Repairing versus replacing in St Columb Minor
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What affects the price in St Columb Minor
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
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.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Your questions about shower tray repair in St Columb Minor
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TR7 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
Common problems we fix in St Columb Minor
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

When a repair is not the answer
