Trusted shower tray repair in Bulmer

Shower tray repair in Bulmer without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s damage around the waste and scratches in the surface, we can help, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

When to call us in Bulmer

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bulmer

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bulmer: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the next day.

Are you accredited?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

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

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CO10 postcode.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bulmer. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Bulmer and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
