How we handle shower tray repair in Cotterstock

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new bathroom and movement when you stand on it, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel

  • Ceramic

Cotterstock: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

When to call us in Cotterstock

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A crack across the base
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
