  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Shower tray repair in Cockden without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and scratches in the surface, on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Cockden

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during fitting

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Cockden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cockden as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Cockden

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

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.
