How we handle shower tray repair in Mabe Burnthouse
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and a crack across the base.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Mabe Burnthouse
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
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 resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Mabe Burnthouse
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A cracked shower tray
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
