Trusted shower tray repair in Balivanich

Shower tray repair in Balivanich without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and chips or cracks by the plughole, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balivanich use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

FAQs for Balivanich

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you cover Balivanich?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Balivanich from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When to call us in Balivanich

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
