Shower tray repair in Balcombe without replacing anything
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for a cracked shower tray and chips on the edges, in stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Stone resin

Common questions in Balcombe
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Balcombe and the rest of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
