Shower tray repair in Baillieston

Common questions in Baillieston

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you cover Baillieston?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Baillieston and the rest of Glasgow. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Shower tray repair in Baillieston, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We’re often asked to fix a cracked shower tray and damage from a refit or building work, across stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlord and trade work in Baillieston

If you manage property in Baillieston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Glasgow and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Baillieston customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Aftercare tips

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

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Baillieston

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Baillieston, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
