Should you replace it?
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Barnhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Barnhill, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
