How we handle shower tray repair in Cold Norton
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Our technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cold Norton and across Essex.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. 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 tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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 reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Questions from Cold Norton
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to Cold Norton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cold Norton and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
