Shower tray repair in Cook's Green without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What else we do in Cook's Green
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Cook's Green
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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 whole tray.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
