How we handle shower tray repair in Burnaston
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and damage from a refit or building work, in stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Burnaston and across Derbyshire.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Burnaston: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What affects the price in Burnaston
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Burnaston. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Burnaston
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chipped corners or rims
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
