Shower tray repair in Barrowby without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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 or gets worse.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Barrowby

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Barrowby questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work in Barrowby?

We do. Technicians travel to Barrowby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

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