Shower tray repair in Busk without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include chipped corners or rims and a cracked shower tray, across stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.

- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price

Common questions in Busk
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Busk?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When can I use the shower again?
Generally the day after. We will confirm before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When to call us in Busk
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chipped corners or rims
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
What else we do in Busk
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Busk, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Repairing versus replacing in Busk
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Busk. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
