Shower tray repair at your home in Thornton
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and a cracked shower tray.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thornton and across Bradford.

Landlord and trade work in Thornton
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, 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.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Thornton
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Get a moving tray checked
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Thornton
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Cracks running from the waste
- A damaged area around the waste

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
