For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When to call us in Thorney

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Thorney

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.
