Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Thrigby
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.

What affects the price in Thrigby
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
If you are in Thrigby and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
