DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
FAQs for Barfrestone
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Barfrestone and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Are there extra charges for Barfrestone?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long before I can shower?
Usually the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CT15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When to call us in Barfrestone
Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Barfrestone
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
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. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
