Shower tray repair in Cowley without replacing anything
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. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and chips on the edges, across acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Repair or replace in Cowley?
Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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 us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Jobs in EX5 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. We regularly work on streets such as St Andrew's Road, Cowley Hill and Star Barton Lane. We also cover the places around Cowley: Three Horse Shoes (1 mile north), Exwick (1 mile south), East Devon (1 mile north), Upton Pyne (1 mile north) and Pennsylvania (2 miles south-east).

Landmarks near Cowley
Typical jobs here are in homes near Exeter University Library and Stables pub. The nearest railway station is Exeter St Davids station, about 1.5 miles south.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Cowley questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is 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.
