Shower tray repair for Thornton homes

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Shower tray repair in Thornton without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches in the surface.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Landlord and trade work in Thornton

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When to call us in Thornton

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Thornton questions

How much does shower tray repair cost in Thornton?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KY1 postcode.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
