Shower tray repair in Barking without replacing anything
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. If you’re dealing with a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
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 we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Questions from Barking
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Barking?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Barking and the rest of Suffolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barking
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Other landmarks nearby include Offton Castle (2.5 miles south). The countryside around Barking includes Bonny Wood and Bosmere.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
