Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
FAQs for Barnston
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
