Shower tray repair in Coolham, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and chips on the edges, in cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

A repair is not right for every job, including:

FAQs for Coolham
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When to call us in Coolham
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
