About our shower tray repair in Thorpe in Balne
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you’re dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry

What else we do in Thorpe in Balne
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Thorpe in Balne. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we’re called out for in Thorpe in Balne
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
Common questions in Thorpe in Balne
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Thorpe in Balne?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
