Trusted shower tray repair in Thorgill

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

About our shower tray repair in Thorgill

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We’re often asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and edge chips from dropped bottles, across stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use the extractor fan

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What we’re called out for in Thorgill

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our pricing.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Thorgill: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Thorgill?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you come to Thorgill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Thorgill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
