Shower tray repair in Bernards Heath

How we handle shower tray repair in Bernards Heath

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include damage around the waste and scuffs and light scratches, on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Bernards Heath

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?

All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you work in Bernards Heath?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bernards Heath and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Bernards Heath, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Bernards Heath

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips on the edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
