FAQs for Bar Hill
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
How we handle shower tray repair in Bar Hill
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are edge chips from dropped bottles and a crack across the base.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repair or replace in Bar Hill?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we are called out for in Bar Hill
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, normally along the edges or by the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
