About our shower tray repair in Nempnett Thrubwell
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about damage around the waste and scratches in the surface.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bath and North East Somerset.

Nempnett Thrubwell: your questions answered
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the day after.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in Nempnett Thrubwell?
We do. We send a technician to Nempnett Thrubwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What else we do in Nempnett Thrubwell
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repair or replace in Nempnett Thrubwell?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Nempnett Thrubwell
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Common problems we fix in Nempnett Thrubwell
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
