Need shower tray repair in Barbon?

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Barbon. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Barbon, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Shower tray repair in Barbon without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, stained or worn surface and cracks running from the waste.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Barbon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common problems we fix in Barbon

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

  • A crack across the base

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Your questions about shower tray repair in Barbon

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
