About our shower tray repair in Thurstaston
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and cracks running from the waste, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thurstaston. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
