About our shower tray repair in Thurston
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and people most often call us about scuffs and light scratches and a dull, stained or worn surface.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we are called out for in Thurston
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A crack across the base
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
What affects the price in Thurston
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Check the seal every few months
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage

FAQs for Thurston
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What else we do in Thurston
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
What you get with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Everything repaired in place
- Same prices wherever you are
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
