About our shower tray repair in Thornhill

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornhill

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornhill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Thornhill

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Thornhill?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your WF12 postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in Thornhill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Thornhill

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
