Shower tray repair at your home in Bowden
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you’re dealing with a damaged area around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Bowden: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, usually the following day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Bowden?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bowden. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Work done at your home or business
- No extra charge for your area

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
