DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Shower tray repair in Coundon without replacing anything
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We’re frequently asked to fix a crack across the base and scratches in the surface, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
When to call us in Coundon
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

FAQs for Coundon
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Coundon is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are there extra charges for Coundon?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CV6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.
