Shower tray repair in Barrowden

Shower tray repair in Barrowden, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and scratches in the surface, in enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Barrowden

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A cracked shower tray

What affects the price in Barrowden

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Barrowden

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
