What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

What we’re called out for in Balloch

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches in the surface

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Balloch. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Questions from Balloch

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work in Balloch?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Balloch from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.
