Shower tray repair at your home in Cowey Green
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and a cracked shower tray, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- 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 clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cowey Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
FAQs for Cowey Green

Which areas do you work in?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
