Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Take a look at our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Cote, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

If you are in Cote and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Cote: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cote. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
