Ball Hill: your questions answered
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Ball Hill?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CV2 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you come to Ball Hill?
We do. We send a technician to Ball Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
What affects the price in Ball Hill
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ball Hill. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Ball Hill
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ball Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
