Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Coates, Gloucestershire
Local shower tray repair for Coates: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Shower tray repair in Coates, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and cracks running from the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Coates. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GL7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What we’re called out for in Coates
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that flexes
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Your questions about shower tray repair in Coates
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Coates. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
