Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Your questions about shower tray repair in Barkby
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you come to Barkby?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Barkby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
