What affects the price in Thorn
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Thorn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Thorn
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Landmarks near Thorn

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Questions from Thorn
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you come to Thorn?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Thorn for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you manage property in Thorn, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
