Common problems we fix in Coxhoe
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A cracked shower tray
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Shower tray repair at your home in Coxhoe
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about damage from a refit or building work and a tray that flexes.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Coxhoe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
