Shower Tray Repair for Thurleigh homes
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Thurleigh. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
About our shower tray repair in Thurleigh
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and damage from a refit or building work, 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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we’re called out for in Thurleigh
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chipped corners or rims
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Questions from Thurleigh
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Thurleigh?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
How long before I can shower?
Generally the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you come to Thurleigh?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Thurleigh from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are there extra charges for Thurleigh?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Landlord and trade work in Thurleigh
If you manage property in Thurleigh, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
