Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Shower tray repair in Cold Christmas without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and a damaged area around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Cold Christmas, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Questions from Cold Christmas

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Cold Christmas.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.
