Shower tray repair in Cotebrook

Shower tray repair in Cotebrook without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s a crack across the base and chips on the edges, we can help.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

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

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cotebrook

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cheshire West and Chester and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Cotebrook

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

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

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

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

What affects the price in Cotebrook

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cotebrook. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
