Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Cox Green: your questions answered
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do you cover Cox Green?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cox Green and the rest of Sunderland. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What we are called out for in Cox Green
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, normally along the edges or by the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Damage around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A crack across the base
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cox Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
