Shower tray repair in Ball, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and people most often call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take 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.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PL27 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ball. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Ball, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
