Shower tray repair in Cotherstone, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new bathroom and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help, on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Cotherstone
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cotherstone. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Your questions about shower tray repair in Cotherstone
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work in Cotherstone?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cotherstone for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
