Your questions about shower tray repair in Cowick
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Shower tray repair in Cowick without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We work on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and damage from a refit or building work.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Cowick, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What we’re called out for in Cowick
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
