How we handle shower tray repair in Ballifeary

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Which areas do you work in?

Can I add another job to the visit?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Ballifeary clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
