How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Thorncross: your questions answered
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Thorncross?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PO30 postcode.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you come to Thorncross?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Thorncross and the rest of Isle of Wight. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Thorncross. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Thorncross, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Common problems we fix in Thorncross
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A crack across the base
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage around the waste
