About our shower tray repair in Balado
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with damage from a refit or building work and damage around the waste, we can help, on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Balado
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Balado. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
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 we will come back with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Balado
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balado as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
