Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 else we do in Old Balornock
Old Balornock: your questions answered
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the next day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Do you need shower tray repair in Old Balornock?
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
Landlord and trade work in Old Balornock
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What affects the price in Old Balornock
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Old Balornock. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
