Shower tray repair in Higher Ballam, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and edge chips from dropped bottles, across stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Higher Ballam and across Lancashire.

Questions from Higher Ballam
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you need shower tray repair in Higher Ballam?
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.

- A damaged area around the waste

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Repair or replace in Higher Ballam?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Higher Ballam. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
