How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Shower tray repair in Baretrees without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you’re dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after 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 reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common questions in Baretrees

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you come to Baretrees?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Baretrees from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What affects the price in Baretrees

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Baretrees. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need shower tray repair in Baretrees?

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
