How we handle shower tray repair in Thurning

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We are often asked to fix a tray that flexes and edge chips from dropped bottles, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

When to call us in Thurning

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Thurning questions

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for Thurning?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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.
