Shower tray repair in Thorpe Abbotts without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include scuffs and light scratches and chips caused during fitting, on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Thorpe Abbotts
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
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.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Repair or replace in Thorpe Abbotts?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
