What we’re called out for in Thornicombe
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Look out for any of the following:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A crack across the base
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

FAQs for Thornicombe
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
