For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Shower tray repair in Thorley Street, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during fitting and a tray that flexes.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Thorley Street
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Common problems we fix in Thorley Street
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Movement when you stand on it

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically 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.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Thorley Street: your questions answered
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Are there extra charges for Thorley Street?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Repair or replace in Thorley Street?
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
