How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and a damaged area around the waste, we can typically put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace in Cowlairs?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Cowlairs customers choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Read our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we are called out for in Cowlairs

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Cowlairs

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cowlairs as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Cowlairs. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Cowlairs questions

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover Cowlairs?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cowlairs. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.
