About our shower tray repair in Cawthorne
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s damage around the waste and a tray that flexes, we can usually put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cawthorne as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
FAQs for Cawthorne
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What affects the price in Cawthorne
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
