FAQs for Balfour
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Balfour?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Shower tray repair in Balfour, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Balfour
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Balfour
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Balfour. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Do you need shower tray repair in Balfour?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Look out for these signs:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips on the edges
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scuffs and light scratches

- How changes to the job are handled

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
