What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

How we handle shower tray repair in Thornby
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with cracks running from the waste and a damaged area around the waste, we can usually put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you’re in Thornby and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Thornby
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
