Shower tray repair in Barrow

Shower tray repair at your home in Barrow

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and movement when you stand on it, on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

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

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Barrow

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

FAQs for Barrow

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Barrow?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
