DIY kit or professional repair?
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 fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Same prices wherever you are
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

FAQs for Cottingham
Are there extra charges for Cottingham?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work in Cottingham?
We do. Technicians travel to Cottingham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
What affects the price in Cottingham
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cottingham. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What we are called out for in Cottingham
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Common reasons people in Cottingham contact us are:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips on the edges
- Cracks running from the waste
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
