How we handle shower tray repair in Barnes Cray
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles, in enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
