What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Ceramic

Shower tray repair in Thorpe Underwood without replacing anything
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 doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and movement when you stand on it, in enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Thorpe Underwood: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What else we do in Thorpe Underwood
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thorpe Underwood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, 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.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Signs you need shower tray repair in Thorpe Underwood
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A tray that flexes
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Thorpe Underwood, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
