Shower tray repair near Burneside

Shower tray repair at your home in Burneside

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and scratches in the surface, we can help, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Burneside and across Cumbria.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Burneside. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Burneside, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Burneside

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically along the edges or by the waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
