Shower tray repair in Balderstone, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and movement when you stand on it, we can typically put it right, on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Balderstone: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What affects the price in Balderstone

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OL11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Balderstone

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Balderstone

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
