Shower tray repair in Barlow, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that flexes and a cracked shower tray.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Barlow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Barlow questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
