Cockwood: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How we handle shower tray repair in Cockwood
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include damage around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, in ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlord and trade work in Cockwood
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole 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 entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
