Shower tray repair at your home in Thorney
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches in the surface, on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thorney. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NG23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Thorney: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Thorney?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Thorney
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that flexes
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches in the surface
Comparing quotes
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
