About our shower tray repair in Barkway

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with a cracked shower tray and damage from a refit or building work, we can usually put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Common questions in Barkway

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Barkway and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Are there extra charges for Barkway?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Barkway

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Barkway and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
