Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Cow Green
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How long does it take to cure?
Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What affects the price in Cow Green
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
