Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Shower tray repair in Barwick, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We’re frequently asked to fix chipped corners or rims and scratches from cleaning or grit, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Barwick. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SG11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Questions from Barwick
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Barwick and the rest of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Common problems we fix in Barwick
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Cracks running from the waste
- A damaged area around the waste
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
