What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

About our shower tray repair in Cottesmore
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and a dull, stained or worn surface, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
If you’re in Cottesmore and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Cottesmore
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What to look for in a quote

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Questions from Cottesmore
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Rutland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cottesmore as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
