We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cowpen. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we handle shower tray repair in Cowpen

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cowpen as everywhere else we work.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Cowpen

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

What we are called out for in Cowpen

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Landlord and trade work in Cowpen

If you manage property in Cowpen, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
