Shower tray repair at your home in Thorncombe
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage from a refit or building work, across acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Do you need shower tray repair in Thorncombe?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Thorncombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Repair or replace in Thorncombe?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- 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 whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Thorncombe questions
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Thorncombe?
We do. We send a technician to Thorncombe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Thorncombe?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
