About our shower tray repair in Thorns Green
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We’re often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and damage around the waste, across enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. 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. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
