What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe Willoughby
Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Thorpe Willoughby: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
