Shower tray repair in Cotton, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include scuffs and light scratches and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Landlord and trade work in Cotton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Cotton
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What affects the price in Cotton
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Cotton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.
Related advice
Cotton: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
