About our shower tray repair in Burwell

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new bathroom and staining and dullness across the tray, in ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.

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

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Burwell

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Landlord and trade work in Burwell

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

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
