When to call us in Coate

People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that flexes
- Chips caused during fitting
- Damage around the waste

What else we do in Coate
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Common questions in Coate
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Coate?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
