How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How we handle shower tray repair in Thorlby

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Thorlby: your questions answered

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you cover Thorlby?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Thorlby. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Thorlby. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Thorlby, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture 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 are under no obligation.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorlby

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin

Do you need shower tray repair in Thorlby?

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that flexes
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
