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

What affects the price in Barton
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Barton. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Most customers in Barton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common questions in Barton
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
