DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How we handle shower tray repair in Coldhurst
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and people most often call us about a tray that flexes and a damaged area around the waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Coldhurst
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A cracked shower tray
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that flexes
- Edge chips from dropped bottles

FAQs for Coldhurst
Do you work in Coldhurst?
We do. We send a technician to Coldhurst for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
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.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. 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 let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare

Related advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
