About our shower tray repair in Barnston
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and edge chips from dropped bottles, across cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Barnston
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Barnston. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
Most clients in Barnston get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Barnston: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Barnston?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Barnston is covered. Prices do not change with location.

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CH61 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
