Shower Tray Repair in Cothill
Damaged shower tray in Cothill? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches in the surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Shower tray repair in Cothill without replacing anything
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips on the edges, across cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Cothill and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What we’re called out for in Cothill
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
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 typically the cheaper route.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cothill. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Across the UK, and that includes Cothill. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens after I send pictures?

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
