Shower tray repair in Burbage without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and staining and dullness across the tray.
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.

Do you need shower tray repair in Burbage?
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Burbage get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Burbage
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repairing versus replacing in Burbage
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts 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 will get a fixed figure.
