Shower tray repair in Barr

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we handle shower tray repair in Barr

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and scratches in the surface, in cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Barr and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Barr: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do the materials smell?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Barr. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KA26 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we are called out for in Barr

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
