When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we are called out for in Thorington Street
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A crack across the base
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips on the edges

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

FAQs for Thorington Street
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How long before I can shower?
Generally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
