Shower tray repair near Balintore

Shower tray repair in Balintore, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that flexes, we can help, on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Balintore

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IV20 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
