Shower tray repair in Mowden 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’re often asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and a cracked shower tray, in ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Mowden?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Mowden
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back

Mowden: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Mowden?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CM3 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long does it take to cure?
Generally the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
