Shower tray repair in Cowling, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and light scratches and edge chips from dropped bottles.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted
Take a look at our pricing.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Cowling, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cowling. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cowling. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Cowling: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Are there extra charges for Cowling?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
