Shower tray repair at your home in Thomshill
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and chipped corners or rims, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Thomshill
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. 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.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- 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 clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
