Shower tray repair in Cooling Street

How we handle shower tray repair in Cooling Street

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Cooling Street

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Cooling Street questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Cooling Street?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your ME3 postcode.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common problems we fix in Cooling Street

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
