How we handle shower tray repair in Thorndon
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most often call us about damage around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thorndon as everywhere else we work.

Questions from Thorndon
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work in Thorndon?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Thorndon and the rest of Suffolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Thorndon. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repairing versus replacing in Thorndon
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Thorndon customers choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Work done at your home or business

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
