Shower tray repair in Balscote

Shower tray repair in Balscote, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the edges and chips or cracks by the plughole, in 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.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Balscote, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we’re called out for in Balscote

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

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. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Balscote. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Balscote questions

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Balscote and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Balscote?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your OX15 postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Landlord and trade work in Balscote

For anyone letting property in or around Balscote, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balscote as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
