Shower tray repair in Burnden

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Burnden

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Burnden

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

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.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens next?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Burnden, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
