How we handle shower tray repair in Cotton End

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you’re dealing with damage from a refit or building work and cracks running from the waste, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Cotton End

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

When to call us in Cotton End

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

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

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cotton End

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Repair or replace in Cotton End?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
