How it 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 any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- 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.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Thornton: your questions answered
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
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.
