Questions from Cold Harbour
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cold Harbour.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cold Harbour
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cold Harbour. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
