Common problems we fix in Burnedge

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

10 questions to ask before you book

Shower tray repair at your home in Burnedge

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and damage around the waste, in enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Repairing versus replacing in Burnedge

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Burnedge

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you cover the entire of Rochdale?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Burnedge?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Burnedge and the rest of Rochdale. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
