About our shower tray repair in Cottisford
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include chips caused during fitting and a cracked shower tray, in acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
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.
When to call us in Cottisford
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Movement when you stand on it
- A cracked shower tray
- Chipped corners or rims
What to look for in a quote
- How to look after the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Most clients in Cottisford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
