Shower tray repair in Cowlinge without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about scratches in the surface and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Should you replace it?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Cowlinge
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Do you come to Cowlinge?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cowlinge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Cowlinge, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
