Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Shower tray repair in Childer Thornton, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are damage around the waste and scuffs and light scratches.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Childer Thornton. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Childer Thornton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Childer Thornton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
FAQs for Childer Thornton
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you work in Childer Thornton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Childer Thornton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Childer Thornton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
