How we handle shower tray repair in Thankerton
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a cracked shower tray, we can help, on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- We make sure the tray does not 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.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

When to call us in Thankerton
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Thankerton questions
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
