Shower tray repair for Ballinger Common homes

Shower tray repair in Ballinger Common without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that flexes and a dull, stained or worn surface.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Ballinger Common

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How long does it take to cure?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What affects the price in Ballinger Common

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ballinger Common. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
