- Repairs from £95
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips caused during fitting
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Shower tray repair in Coton without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and chips caused during fitting.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace in Coton?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
FAQs for Coton
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- 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 will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
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 are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Common problems we fix in Coton
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches in the surface
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
