Shower tray repair in Cowbit without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We work on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Cowbit questions

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you come to Cowbit?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Cowbit and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Cowbit is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

If you manage property in Cowbit, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Cowbit. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cowbit. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
