Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Great Thorness
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
For a price in Great Thorness, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When to call us in Great Thorness
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
