Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Colwick. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Colwick. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Colwick
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
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 over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common questions in Colwick
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the next day.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
