Shower tray repair at your home in Cotness

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are a damaged area around the waste and a tray that flexes.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Riding of Yorkshire.

  • A crack across the base

How to compare quotes

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Cotness?

Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Cotness: your questions answered

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the following day.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you work in Cotness?

We do. We send a technician to Cotness for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
