Cole End questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Cole End?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Cole End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cole End. The price comes down to:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Signs you need shower tray repair in Cole End
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that flexes
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
