Shower tray repair in Thenford, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you are dealing with a cracked shower tray and chips caused during fitting, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Thenford
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Landlord and trade work in Thenford
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thenford use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thenford. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OX17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
