About our shower tray repair in Thornhill
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and scuffs and light scratches, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Thornhill
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Thornhill and the rest of Torfaen. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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
It’s all simple stuff:
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thornhill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Thornhill. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
