Common questions in Kirkby Thore
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long does it take to cure?
Generally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
About our shower tray repair in Kirkby Thore
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for a cracked shower tray and chips on the edges, across acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Kirkby Thore. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Kirkby Thore, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What else we do in Kirkby Thore
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire 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 whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
