Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Common questions in Spring Cottage
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Spring Cottage, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Spring Cottage. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Spring Cottage get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
