Shower tray repair in Sandy Balls, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, stained or worn surface and damage from a refit or building work.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- 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 clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Repairing versus replacing in Sandy Balls
A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sandy Balls. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chipped corners or rims
Questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Sandy Balls
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
