Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thornton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TS8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Thornton questions
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Thornton?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Repair or replace in Thornton?
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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why Thornton customers choose us
- One price list for the entire UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
