Shower tray repair in West Burton

What affects the price in West Burton

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Shower tray repair at your home in West Burton

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. If you’re dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and a crack across the base, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in West Burton as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Burton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

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

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Signs you need shower tray repair in West 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.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips on the edges
  • Cracks running from the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

West Burton: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

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.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
