What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
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 are filled and matched to the surface.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Common problems we fix in Thornhill
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Common reasons people in Thornhill contact us are:
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A crack across the base

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Thornhill. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Thornhill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Questions from Thornhill
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover Thornhill?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Thornhill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- 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.
