Burnfoot questions

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Burnfoot. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
