Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Shower tray repair in Thorpe Acre without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We are often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and damage from a refit or building work, across cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpe Acre
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorpe Acre as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thorpe Acre. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Thorpe Acre. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we’re called out for in Thorpe Acre
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Look out for any of the following:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A crack across the base
- A damaged area around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Repair or replace in Thorpe Acre?

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
