DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material

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 is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Covingham questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Covingham is covered. Prices do not change with location.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
