Shower tray repair near Barrow Bridge

Shower tray repair in Barrow Bridge without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Barrow Bridge

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Barrow Bridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

For anyone letting property in or around Barrow Bridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Common problems we fix in Barrow Bridge

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, normally along the edges or by the waste.

How to compare quotes

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Barrow Bridge, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
