About our shower tray repair in Cowpe
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 chips on the edges and scuffs and light scratches, we can generally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Cowpe, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Cowpe
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A crack across the base
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that flexes
- Edge chips from dropped bottles

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
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.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry

Cowpe questions
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
