Shower tray repair for Ballumbie homes

Common problems we fix in Ballumbie

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair in Ballumbie without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and scuffs and light scratches, across ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Ballumbie clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlord and trade work in Ballumbie

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Ballumbie

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dundee.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Dundee. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
