Shower tray repair in Barking Tye, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about chips on the edges and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What affects the price in Barking Tye
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When to call us in Barking Tye
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, generally along the edges or by the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A cracked shower tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
