About our shower tray repair in Thornham Magna
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the edges and scratches from cleaning or grit, across enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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.

Common questions in Thornham Magna
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What affects the price in Thornham Magna
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
Most customers in Thornham Magna get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
