About our shower tray repair in Cossington
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during fitting and damage around the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Cossington
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Leicestershire.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Cossington?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry

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.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Cossington
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
