Trusted shower tray repair in Baltasound

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.

Shower tray repair in Baltasound, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you are dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that flexes, we can help.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What affects the price in Baltasound

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Baltasound

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

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

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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

Landlord and trade work in Baltasound

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
