Shower tray repair in Thuxton, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include damage around the waste and movement when you stand on it, on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Thuxton
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Thuxton. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Thuxton
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. 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 normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
