Shower tray repair at your home in Thickwood
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about cracks running from the waste and damage from a refit or building work.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Thickwood
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thickwood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
