Cosmore: your questions answered
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Cosmore is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cosmore
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Cosmore, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Do you need shower tray repair in Cosmore?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Movement when you stand on it
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairing versus replacing in Cosmore
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
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.
