FAQs for Ellington Thorpe
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you cover Ellington Thorpe?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ellington Thorpe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Shower tray repair in Ellington Thorpe, done in place

What else we do in Ellington Thorpe
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ellington Thorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ellington Thorpe. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Most customers in Ellington Thorpe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
