Common questions in Thorpe End
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Thorpe End included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Shower tray repair in Thorpe End, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with chips caused during fitting and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

- 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
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Thorpe End. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic

What else we do in Thorpe End
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What we’re called out for in Thorpe End
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Repair or replace in Thorpe End?
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
