We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Bury Road

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and a damaged area around the waste, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Bury Road

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base

Choosing a repair company

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

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 price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you are in Bury Road and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Bury Road: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you come to Bury Road?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bury Road from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does it take to cure?

Generally the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Bury Road, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
