About our shower tray repair in Thorpe Morieux
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during fitting and chips or cracks by the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Thorpe Morieux
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the day after.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry

Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thorpe Morieux. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
