Landlords, agents and businesses in Coates
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Shower tray repair in Coates, done in place
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 scuffs and light scratches and chips caused during fitting, across enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Coates and across Cambridgeshire.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

- Chips on the edges
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. 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.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
