- A cracked shower tray

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Shower tray repair in Thorley, done in place
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Typical jobs include a cracked shower tray and a tray that flexes, on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Thorley
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you come to Thorley?
We do. We send a technician to Thorley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the day after. We will confirm before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairing versus replacing in Thorley
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
