Trusted shower tray repair in Cold Row

What we are called out for in Cold Row

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.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you’re in Cold Row and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

FAQs for Cold Row

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant 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. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
