About our shower tray repair in Busveal
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When to call us in Busveal

- A tray that flexes
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common questions in Busveal
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Are there extra charges for Busveal?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you come to Busveal?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Busveal for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Should you replace it?
The tray is normally 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
