About our shower tray repair in Gate Burton

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you are dealing with a damaged area around the waste and cracks running from the waste, we can help, on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gate Burton. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

What we are called out for in Gate Burton

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Look out for these signs:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that flexes

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Gate Burton

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Gate Burton

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
