Shower tray repair in Barton without replacing anything
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. If you’re dealing with movement when you stand on it and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic alike.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

When to call us in Barton
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that flexes

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Questions from Barton
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the next day.
