Shower tray repair at your home in Thornholme

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and people most often call us about a tray that flexes and damage from a refit or building work.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

What we’re called out for in Thornholme

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

Thornholme questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What information do you need?

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

What we work on

  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
