Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What affects the price in Bargate
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Common questions in Bargate
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DE56 postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Materials we work on in Bargate
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
