About our shower tray repair in Thorpe
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What else we do in Thorpe
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Common questions in Thorpe
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
