About our shower tray repair in Cowmes
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and movement when you stand on it, in enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cowmes and across Kirklees.

Common questions in Cowmes
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire shower tray
Most clients in Cowmes get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What we’re called out for in Cowmes
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that flexes
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Cowmes
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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site
- One price list for the whole UK
