Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Thornton-le-Moors

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thornton-le-Moors. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area

What affects the price in Thornton-le-Moors

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price
