About our shower tray repair in Cove
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that flexes, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Cove
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cove as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Ventilate the room after showers
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we are called out for in Cove
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Movement when you stand on it
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair is not the answer

- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

What affects the price in Cove
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cove. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
