How we handle shower tray repair in St Ruan
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s damage around the waste and scratches in the surface, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel

How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St Ruan. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
Take a look at our full price list.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What affects the price in St Ruan
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Common problems we fix in St Ruan
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
