Shower tray repair in Burmarsh, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches in the surface.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need shower tray repair in Burmarsh?
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to care for the finish
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray

Repairing versus replacing in Burmarsh
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
