About our shower tray repair in Burnham Green

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and movement when you stand on it.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Burnham Green: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover Burnham Green?

We do. We send a technician to Burnham Green for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the day after. We will confirm before we leave.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burnham Green use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • 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.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Signs you need shower tray repair in Burnham Green

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
