Shower tray repair in Cooling without replacing anything
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and a dull, stained or worn surface, on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.
In a village like Cooling, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where floors may be timber. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When to call us in Cooling
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches in the surface
Landlords with property near Higham station (about 3.3 miles south-west) use us between tenancies, so shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Cooling
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Cooling, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
