Shower tray repair near Thoresby

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Shower tray repair in Thoresby without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and chipped corners or rims, in enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Thoresby: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you come to Thoresby?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Thoresby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Common problems we fix in Thoresby

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
