Shower tray repair near Cotgrave

Shower tray repair at your home in Cotgrave

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, in stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Questions from Cotgrave

Can landlords book you?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Cotgrave

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Cotgrave, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done 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. 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Cotgrave

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Cotgrave, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
