Shower tray repair in Cotehill without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We are frequently asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches from cleaning or grit, in ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Honest limits

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

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

FAQs for Cotehill

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

If you manage property in Cotehill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Do you need shower tray repair in Cotehill?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Repairing versus replacing in Cotehill

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
