About our shower tray repair in Barming Heath
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and a damaged area around the waste, across ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What else we do in Barming Heath
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, 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.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Barming Heath
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips caused during fitting
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
