Shower tray repair for Barton homes

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we handle shower tray repair in Barton

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and movement when you stand on it.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common problems we fix in Barton

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Barton questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover Barton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Barton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
