Shower tray repair at your home in Barbican Estate
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and people most often call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Barbican Estate as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Barbican Estate: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, 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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Barbican Estate?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Common problems we fix in Barbican Estate
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- What preparation is included
- How to care for the finish
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it

Honest limits

- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
