About our shower tray repair in Bamford

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and a dull, stained or worn surface, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we’re called out for in Bamford

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Cracks running from the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your S33 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Bamford: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you come to Bamford?

We do. We send a technician to Bamford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

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 trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
