Shower tray repair in Cotes without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include chipped corners or rims and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Cotes. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
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.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we’re called out for in Cotes
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches in the surface
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Advice
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cotes. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Common questions in Cotes
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
