Shower Tray Repair in Barleythorpe
Local shower tray repair for Barleythorpe: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A cracked shower tray
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted

How we handle shower tray repair in Barleythorpe
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. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Barleythorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
