About our shower tray repair in Thropton
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. If you’re dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Thropton
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What else we do in Thropton
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Most clients in Thropton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thropton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Do you need shower tray repair in Thropton?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that flexes
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
Common questions in Thropton
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you come to Thropton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Thropton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Check the seal every few months
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
