How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your RH20 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Common questions in Coates
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Coates.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Are there extra charges for Coates?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Coates, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace in Coates?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Coates
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches in the surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Cracks running from the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
