What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire shower tray
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we’re called out for in King's Thorn
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Movement when you stand on it

Common questions in King's Thorn
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work in King's Thorn?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to King's Thorn and the rest of Herefordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
