How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Shower tray repair in Trematon, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and a cracked shower tray, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What affects the price in Trematon
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Common questions in Trematon
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
