Shower tray repair near Thurton

Shower tray repair at your home in Thurton

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re often asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and movement when you stand on it, in acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What affects the price in Thurton

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Thurton. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thurton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Materials we work on in Thurton

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repair or replace in Thurton?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts 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.
