Shower tray repair at your home in Barking
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and scratches in the surface.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Barking and across Greater London.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Honest limits

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Barking, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Barking: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the following day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Are there extra charges for Barking?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When to call us in Barking
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that flexes
- A damaged area around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Other services in Barking
Can I fix it myself?
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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
