About our shower tray repair in Thorverton
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can usually put it right, on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Thorverton questions
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Thorverton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- The material
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thorverton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Thorverton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Thorverton
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips on the edges
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
