Shower tray repair in Copplestone

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

About our shower tray repair in Copplestone

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and scratches in the surface, on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

10 questions to ask before booking

FAQs for Copplestone

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs

  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What affects the price in Copplestone

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Copplestone. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
