Shower tray repair in Cottered without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and a cracked shower tray.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Cottered
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips caused during fitting
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that flexes
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Other services in Cottered
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on

Cottered questions
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Cottered is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
