Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we handle shower tray repair in Thorpe
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Thorpe questions
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
When to call us in Thorpe
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Movement when you stand on it
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
