- We refinish the surface to match the tray.

Shower tray repair at your home in Thurnby
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and a damaged area around the waste, across stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

FAQs for Thurnby
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you cover Thurnby?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Thurnby and the rest of Leicestershire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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 feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Thurnby
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

- Rooms protected and left tidy
