Shower tray repair in Barley, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We are frequently asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and chips on the edges, across acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Barley

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Barley and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

How to compare quotes

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Barley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Barley questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you cover Barley?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Barley. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?

Across the UK, so Barley is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
