Shower tray repair at your home in Bartington
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and edge chips from dropped bottles, across enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
Somewhere like Bartington, showers are frequently in converted or older buildings, where timber floors can move. A crack is only repaired once we know the tray is firm.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Bartington
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. In an older home in a village like Bartington, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used. In a village or hamlet like Bartington, access can be the only tricky part. Once we’re there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Other services in Bartington
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Bartington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Bartington
Will you travel to Bartington?
We do: Bartington is covered like any town. Just mention any tricky access.
Can you fix shower trays at a school or business in Bartington?
Yes, we work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Send pictures and details of the building.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
