Shower tray repair in Cotteridge, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chipped corners or rims.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Do you need shower tray repair in Cotteridge?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chipped corners or rims
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
