How we handle shower tray repair in Valley Truckle
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and people most often call us about a cracked shower tray and chips on the edges.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Valley Truckle. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Valley Truckle
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Valley Truckle?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Valley Truckle and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price

Advice
Repair or replace in Valley Truckle?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Valley Truckle. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
