Signs you need shower tray repair in Burthorpe
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage around the waste
- A crack across the base
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places

Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Burthorpe. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Burthorpe and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
