Shower tray repair in Burnham-on-Sea without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and light scratches and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Burnham-on-Sea: your questions answered

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What areas do you cover?

All of Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our prices page.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When to call us in Burnham-on-Sea

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
