Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

When to call us in Burston
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that flexes
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Repairing versus replacing in Burston
A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Common questions in Burston
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Burston. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Burston get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
