  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

What affects the price in Thornage

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most clients in Thornage get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. 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.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornage use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Thornage

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

What happens next?

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
