Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Thorpe Astley questions
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
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.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
