DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thornton Hough. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Do you need shower tray repair in Thornton Hough?
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- A tray that flexes
- Chips caused during fitting
- A cracked shower tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
