Shower tray repair in Balterley without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole, across cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often 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.
Do you need shower tray repair in Balterley?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Movement when you stand on it

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
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 price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Balterley
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
