Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
About our shower tray repair in Thorley
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and scratches in the surface.
In a village like Thorley, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where timber floors can move. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again. In a village or hamlet like Thorley, access can be the only tricky part. Once we are there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
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. For a rural home like those around Thorley, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while shower tray repair is one trip.
Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
