Shower tray repair at your home in Cowfold

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We are often asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches in the surface, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repairing versus replacing in Cowfold

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Cowfold: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Cowfold

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
