About our shower tray repair in Bishop Thornton
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Our technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and chips caused during fitting.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bishop Thornton
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When to call us in Bishop Thornton
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Bishop Thornton
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are there extra charges for Bishop Thornton?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Bishop Thornton?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
What affects the price in Bishop Thornton
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bishop Thornton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
