Shower tray repair in Thorns Beach without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and chipped corners or rims.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Thorns Beach questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SO42 postcode.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
The entire UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
