How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Your questions about shower tray repair in Balgay

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the next day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Balgay?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Balgay. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
