Shower tray repair in Thorpe Audlin without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and movement when you stand on it.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Thorpe Audlin
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Are there extra charges for Thorpe Audlin?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Common problems we fix in Thorpe Audlin
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage around the waste
- Chips on the edges
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

What affects the price in Thorpe Audlin
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairs by material
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.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
