Shower tray repair in Cogan without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and damage around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When to call us in Cogan
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches in the surface
- A cracked shower tray
- Damage from a refit or building work

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos 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.
Common questions in Cogan
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What does shower tray repair cost?

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
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.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
