Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Cole Henley questions

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Cole Henley?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Signs you need shower tray repair in Cole Henley

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
