Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Shower tray repair in Balmullo, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and cracks running from the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Balmullo: your questions answered
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you work in Balmullo?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Balmullo. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens on the day

- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
