Shower tray repair in Thulston without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and staining and dullness across the tray.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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 day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Materials we work on in Thulston
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thulston
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Thulston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
