Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Shower tray repair at your home in Netherthong
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and edge chips from dropped bottles, in acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare

What we are called out for in Netherthong
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Netherthong
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Netherthong
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
