Shower tray repair in Balderstone without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and scuffs and light scratches, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

- Chipped corners or rims

- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage around the waste

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the seal every few months
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
