Shower tray repair in Ballachulish

How we handle shower tray repair in Ballachulish

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips or cracks by the plughole and damage from a refit or building work.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ballachulish. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Ballachulish?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When to call us in Ballachulish

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage around the waste
  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are 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 ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Ballachulish questions

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Ballachulish. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

When can I use the shower again?

Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you come to Ballachulish?

We do. We send a technician to Ballachulish for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
