For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Shower tray repair in Cove, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are cracks running from the waste and staining and dullness across the tray.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairing versus replacing in Cove
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Cove
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Cove?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the next day.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What affects the price in Cove
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
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.
