Shower tray repair for Burham homes

Common problems we fix in Burham

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

How we handle shower tray repair in Burham

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Burham: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Burham

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Medway and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Burham. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

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

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ME1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
