Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Shower tray repair in Cochrane Park, done in place
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Common problems we fix in Cochrane Park
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Common reasons people in Cochrane Park contact us include:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A damaged area around the waste
- A crack across the base

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
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, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once

- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
