About our shower tray repair in Burravoe

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chipped corners or rims, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Burravoe, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Landlord and trade work in Burravoe

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burravoe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we’re called out for in Burravoe

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

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Cracks running from the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Burravoe questions

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I have to be there?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
