Your questions about shower tray repair in Thorpe
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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 typically the cheaper route.

Other services in Thorpe
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price

Advice
Signs you need shower tray repair in Thorpe
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners or rims
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Thorpe
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
