Shower tray repair at your home in Thornford
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and scratches in the surface.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thornford as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Thornford
How much does shower tray repair cost in Thornford?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What areas do you cover?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What we are called out for in Thornford
Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Look out for any of the following:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

What else we do in Thornford
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
