How the visit works

- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Cosgrove: your questions answered
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover Cosgrove?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Cosgrove. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What affects the price in Cosgrove
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
