DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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 often lifts.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Barrack Hill: your questions answered

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Barrack Hill included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

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