Shower tray repair at your home in Ballater

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Typical jobs include chips on the edges and a tray that flexes, on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common problems we fix in Ballater

Choosing a repair company

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Ballater

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.

Do you come to Ballater?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ballater and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Aberdeenshire.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Repair or replace in Ballater?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, 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. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
