Shower tray repair in Thornthwaite, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped corners or rims and scuffs and light scratches.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access

FAQs for Thornthwaite
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Thornthwaite is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Thornthwaite?
We do. We send a technician to Thornthwaite for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Check the seal every few months
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
