Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Shower tray repair in Bures Green without replacing anything
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
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.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Bures Green
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures 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.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
