Shower tray repair in Ballhill, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from a refit or building work and a crack across the base.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
What affects the price in Ballhill
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ballhill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:

- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take 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.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Common questions in Ballhill
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
