Shower tray repair in Burbage, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most customers in Burbage get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

FAQs for Burbage

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the day after.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
