Shower Tray Repair in Cockett

- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Shower tray repair in Cockett, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and chips caused during fitting, across acrylic, ceramic and stone resin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cockett. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why Cockett customers choose us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One price list for the entire UK

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SA2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Cockett: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Cockett and the rest of Swansea. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Common problems we fix in Cockett
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A crack across the base
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
