Other services in Balgreen
Repair or replace in Balgreen?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
FAQs for Balgreen
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
