How we handle shower tray repair in Besses o' th' Barn

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 repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and a damaged area around the waste.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bury.

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Besses o' th' Barn

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your M45 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Besses o' th' Barn: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Should you replace it?

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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