How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check the seal every few months
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Thorpeness?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Thorpeness. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Thorpeness. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpeness
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When to call us in Thorpeness
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A damaged area around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips caused during fitting

FAQs for Thorpeness
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Thorpeness?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Thorpeness from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
