FAQs for Cockerton
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DL3 postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Are there extra charges for Cockerton?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Do you need shower tray repair in Cockerton?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A crack across the base
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What affects the price in Cockerton
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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 reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
