Shower tray repair in Cotham without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches from cleaning or grit, across stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we are called out for in Cotham
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Common reasons people in Cotham contact us include:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A damaged area around the waste
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Cotham and want a price, 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.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Stone resin
