DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole shower tray
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Questions from Cowes
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Cowes.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Repairing versus replacing in Cowes
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Cracks running from the waste
