Signs you need shower tray repair in Thorpe Common
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that flexes
- Edge chips from dropped bottles

- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
