Shower tray repair in Barnes Cray

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.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

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.

Barnes Cray questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
