Shower tray repair in Thorney Close without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Thorney Close
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Thorney Close?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Thorney Close. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Thorney Close?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When to call us in Thorney Close
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

- Chipped corners or rims

- A cracked shower tray
