Landlords, agents and businesses in Coldblow
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Shower tray repair in Coldblow without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. If you’re dealing with a cracked shower tray and chips caused during fitting, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
How to prepare

FAQs for Coldblow
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Coldblow. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
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.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
What we’re called out for in Coldblow
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that flexes
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Coldblow. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
