What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Barmpton

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips on the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barmpton

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Barmpton

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Are there extra charges for Barmpton?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Barmpton?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DL1 postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Barmpton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
