For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bures as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Your questions about shower tray repair in Bures
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the following day.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Bures. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. 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.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, 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 is not visible.
