When to call us in Bufton
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A cracked shower tray

How we handle shower tray repair in Bufton
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and a cracked shower tray, in cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Bufton questions
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
