Do you need shower tray repair in Cowden?

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Questions to ask before booking

Shower tray repair at your home in Cowden
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’re frequently asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and edge chips from dropped bottles, on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Common questions in Cowden
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How long before I can shower?
Usually the day after. We will confirm before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is normally 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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Landlord and trade work in Cowden
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
