Landlord and trade work in Great Burdon
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Burdon as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
About our shower tray repair in Great Burdon
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and a crack across the base, across ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Great Burdon as everywhere else we work.

Questions from Great Burdon
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Great Burdon.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DL1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in Great Burdon
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Stone resin
