Shower tray repair in Cockwells without replacing anything
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about movement when you stand on it and damage around the waste.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Cockwells
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What we’re called out for in Cockwells
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A tray that flexes
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- A damaged area around the waste

Questions from Cockwells
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you come to Cockwells?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cockwells and the rest of Cornwall. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Cockwells
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
