How we handle shower tray repair in Coton in the Elms
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and scratches from cleaning or grit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we are called out for in Coton in the Elms
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Coton in the Elms
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DE12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Common questions in Coton in the Elms
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Derbyshire.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

- 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 whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
