Shower tray repair in Bulbourne, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We’re often asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and movement when you stand on it, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bulbourne and across Hertfordshire.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Bulbourne

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Bulbourne?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you come to Bulbourne?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bulbourne and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

When to call us in Bulbourne

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Bulbourne

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bulbourne use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
