Shower tray repair in Thickholme without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and edge chips from dropped bottles, in stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Thickholme
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we’re called out for in Thickholme
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What to look for in a quote

- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Thickholme questions
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How it 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, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
