DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Balby and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlord and trade work in Balby
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Doncaster and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Balby
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Repair or replace in Balby?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Balby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
