How we handle shower tray repair in Ball o' Ditton
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are movement when you stand on it and chips caused during fitting.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry

Ball o' Ditton questions
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
