Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Barningham. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Barningham

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Barningham. Prices don’t change with location.

Repairing versus replacing in Barningham

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Barningham

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
