Shower tray repair in Bourtreehill, done in place

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Whether it’s a crack across the base and chipped corners or rims, we can normally put it right, on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Honest limits

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Bourtreehill

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

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 are filled and matched to the surface.

Should you replace it?

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. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not 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 price.

Common questions in Bourtreehill

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are there extra charges for Bourtreehill?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you cover Bourtreehill?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bourtreehill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
