Shower Tray Repair in Ballingdon Bottom
We travel to Ballingdon Bottom for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A crack across the base
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Shower tray repair in Ballingdon Bottom, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can generally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Ballingdon Bottom is one of 381 towns and villages in Hertfordshire we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 28 miles away.
Every address in HP2 is covered. We regularly work on streets such as Clements End Road and West Dene. Nearby, we also work in Jockey End (1 mile south-east), Roe End (1 mile north-east), Markyate (2 miles north-east), Trowley Bottom (2 miles east) and Flamstead (3 miles east).

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Repairing versus replacing in Ballingdon Bottom
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Related advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Common questions in Ballingdon Bottom
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work in Ballingdon Bottom?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ballingdon Bottom and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
