Shower tray repair in Barnes Street without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and a crack across the base, across ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Barnes Street and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Landlord and trade work in Barnes Street
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barnes Street use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- 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 clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Barnes Street

These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips on the edges
- Chips caused during fitting
- A damaged area around the waste
What your quote should include
