Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Barrow, Gloucestershire
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing at your home in Barrow, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Shower tray repair in Barrow, done in place
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips or cracks by the plughole, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Barrow
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Barrow. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What affects the price in Barrow
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Common problems we fix in Barrow
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Common reasons people in Barrow contact us include:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that flexes
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Barrow, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Barrow. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
