Shower tray repair in Burston without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with damage around the waste and damage from a refit or building work, we can normally put it right, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Common problems we fix in Burston
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Burston. 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
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Burston?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
