Shower tray repair at your home in Burdon

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage in a new bathroom and edge chips from dropped bottles.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Burdon

If you manage property in Burdon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burdon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
