Shower tray repair near Burley

Shower tray repair in Burley without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about a cracked shower tray and scuffs and light scratches.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we’re called out for in Burley

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A cracked shower tray

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Burley

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace in Burley?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Burley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
