DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Shower tray repair at your home in Barwell
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with scratches in the surface and chips on the edges, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we are called out for in Barwell
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Look out for these signs:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Barwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Barwell
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
