Shower tray repair in Thingwall without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about scuffs and light scratches and damage from a refit or building work.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What affects the price in Thingwall
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders

Do you need shower tray repair in Thingwall?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Cracks running from the waste
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
