How we handle shower tray repair in Balladen
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Balladen get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Common questions in Balladen
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?
Everywhere in the UK, Balladen included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
When to call us in Balladen
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
Repairing versus replacing in Balladen
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
