Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cockington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Shower tray repair in Cockington without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cockington as everywhere else we work.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Cockington
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Cockington. Prices do not change with location.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Cockington?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TQ2 postcode.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Cockington
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
