Shower tray repair in Cowbar, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We are often asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and damage from a refit or building work, across stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Cowbar and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cowbar as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Cowbar, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Cowbar
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What else we do in Cowbar
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before booking
