For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Shower tray repair in Copthorne without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new bathroom and a crack across the base, in enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Copthorne
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scuffs and light scratches

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Copthorne
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
