How we handle shower tray repair in Burnfoot
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are frequently asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and a crack across the base, across stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Burnfoot. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace in Burnfoot?

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Common questions in Burnfoot
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
What else we do in Burnfoot
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
If you’re in Burnfoot and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Common problems we fix in Burnfoot
Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A crack across the base
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scratches in the surface
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled

- Whether a trained technician does the job
