Book shower tray repair in Burtonwood

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Shower tray repair in Burtonwood without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about a damaged area around the waste and cracks running from the waste.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Burtonwood and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Common questions in Burtonwood

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you cover the whole of Warrington?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Do you need shower tray repair in Burtonwood?

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before booking

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Burtonwood, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

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

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
