What affects the price in Barlow
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Barlow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Barlow
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
