About our shower tray repair in Buntingford

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and damage from a refit or building work.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Repair or replace in Buntingford?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page.

Do you need shower tray repair in Buntingford?

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buntingford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Buntingford questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
