Shower tray repair in Upper Burgate

Shower tray repair in Upper Burgate without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and cracks running from the waste, across ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

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
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Upper Burgate

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A crack across the base
  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips caused during fitting

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Upper Burgate

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Upper Burgate

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are there extra charges for Upper Burgate?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you come to Upper Burgate?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Upper Burgate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the next day.

How do I book?

Will you leave a mess?

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
