Shower tray repair for Thornton homes

Shower tray repair in Thornton, done in place

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and damage around the waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Thornton: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Thornton. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Thornton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. 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 whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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, a professional repair is worth it.
