What we are called out for in Burghfield Bridge

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base

Shower tray repair in Burghfield Bridge 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 chips or cracks by the plughole and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can usually put it right.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Stained shower tray resurfaced to clean white, before and after

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Burghfield Bridge

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Burghfield Bridge. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
