Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What else we do in Cotton
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cotton
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
