Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Great Burstead, Essex
Damaged shower tray in Great Burstead? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chipped corners or rims
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
About our shower tray repair in Great Burstead
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re often asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a damaged area around the waste, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Great Burstead
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Great Burstead: your questions answered
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
