Shower tray repair near Bergh Apton

Shower tray repair in Bergh Apton without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and staining and dullness across the tray, in enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray

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 damage the floor below.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our prices page.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Bergh Apton

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Questions from Bergh Apton

Do you come to Bergh Apton?

We do. We send a technician to Bergh Apton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Bergh Apton

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bergh Apton. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
