About our shower tray repair in Cowgate
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and scratches from cleaning or grit, across ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Cowgate
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you come to Cowgate?
We do. We send a technician to Cowgate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cowgate
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Newcastle upon Tyne and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in Cowgate
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Before you book anyone
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
