Shower tray repair for Bedford homes

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Shower tray repair in Bedford, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and a damaged area around the waste.

Newer homes and refits in Bedford frequently have stone resin trays, which crack if the base underneath isn’t solid. We check the support before repairing.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bedford Borough.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Bedford, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes cost nothing and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. For landlords in Bedford, replacement can also mean a longer gap between tenants, whereas a repair is normally a one-day job.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bedford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common problems we fix in Bedford

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Cracks running from the waste

If you let a flat or house near Bedford station (about 0.9 miles south-west), we repair shower trays between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result. Visits in Bedford are booked like anywhere else, with a time agreed beforehand. For flats and busy streets, let us know about parking and stairs.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

For a price in Bedford, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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 or gets worse.
