About our shower tray repair in Burraton

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: 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 will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
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.
When to call us in Burraton
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How to care for the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What else we do in Burraton
Burraton questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Plymouth. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Burraton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
