How we handle shower tray repair in Balgowan
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. If you’re dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and a crack across the base, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Balgowan, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Balgowan questions
Do you cover the entire of Dundee?
All of Dundee, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Balgowan?
We do. We send a technician to Balgowan for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Balgowan
- Cast iron
- Stone resin

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Balgowan
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A crack across the base
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
