Shower tray repair in Thornhill Lees, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the waste and a crack across the base.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Thornhill Lees, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
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 is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
