What we’re called out for in Tremar
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage around the waste
- Chips on the edges
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
Shower tray repair at your home in Tremar
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and movement when you stand on it.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlord and trade work in Tremar
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Tremar questions
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
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.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the day after.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
