Shower tray repair in Balsham

Questions from Balsham

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Balsham and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Are there extra charges for Balsham?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Shower tray repair in Balsham, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and people most often call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Landlord and trade work in Balsham

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What we are called out for in Balsham

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base

10 questions to ask before you book

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
