Shower tray repair in Tolgus Mount, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Tolgus Mount
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What else we do in Tolgus Mount
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the entire UK

Questions from Tolgus Mount
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Tolgus Mount included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Tolgus Mount
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the edges
- A crack across the base
- A tray that flexes
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
