How we handle shower tray repair in Burstall
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We’re often asked to fix scratches in the surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Same prices wherever you are
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Burstall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Burstall
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Burstall
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that flexes
- A damaged area around the waste
What to look for in a quote
