Shower tray repair in Thrimby, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and staining and dullness across the tray.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- 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 next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Thrimby
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Common reasons people in Thrimby contact us are:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners or rims
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Questions from Thrimby
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover Thrimby?
We do. We send a technician to Thrimby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA10 postcode.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
