FAQs for Bearton
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Shower tray repair in Bearton, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can typically put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Bearton
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Do you need shower tray repair in Bearton?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- A cracked shower tray
- A damaged area around the waste
Before booking anyone

- When it can be used again

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bearton. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SG5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
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 is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. 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 are there.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
