How we handle shower tray repair in Ballantrae

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and people most often call us about chipped corners or rims and scratches in the surface.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Ballantrae?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Ballantrae: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

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?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Ballantrae included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Common problems we fix in Ballantrae

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Comparing quotes

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
