Shower tray repair in Barley Green

About our shower tray repair in Barley Green

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Barley Green: your questions answered

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you cover Barley Green?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Barley Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Barley Green

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
