Shower tray repair in Briery

Shower tray repair in Briery, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Briery

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to look after the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Briery

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Briery?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, 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.

  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, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Briery. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
