Shower tray repair in Cotford, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and edge chips from dropped bottles.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
FAQs for Cotford
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cotford
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What else we do in Cotford
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
