Shower tray repair in Coton without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and a tray that flexes, we can normally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Coton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace in Coton?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Will there be a smell?

Do you need shower tray repair in Coton?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What happens on the day
