Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we handle shower tray repair in Cottown
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you’re dealing with cracks running from the waste and damage from a refit or building work, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Cottown
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Cottown
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A damaged area around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips on the edges

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
