About our shower tray repair in Balstonia
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We’re often asked to fix chipped corners or rims and cracks running from the waste, across acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
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 shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Common questions in Balstonia
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Balstonia included. Travel is included in the price.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
