Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we handle shower tray repair in Thwaite
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and cracks running from the waste, on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most clients in Thwaite get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common questions in Thwaite
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How long before I can shower?
Normally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Common problems we fix in Thwaite
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Movement when you stand on it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips on the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Thwaite, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thwaite as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
