DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Barbrook questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Barbrook. The price reflects:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Repairing versus replacing in Barbrook
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common problems we fix in Barbrook
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
