How we handle shower tray repair in Cotes

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

Do you need shower tray repair in Cotes?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage around the waste

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
