Shower tray repair for Barnstone homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Barnstone

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and scratches from cleaning or grit, across acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

FAQs for Barnstone

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlord and trade work in Barnstone

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
