Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Shower tray repair at your home in Varfell
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can help, on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Varfell and across Cornwall.

- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Varfell
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
FAQs for Varfell
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Repair or replace in Varfell?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
