Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Shower tray repair in Cowhill without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Cowhill
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Cowhill?
We do. We send a technician to Cowhill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material

- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

- Ceramic
