Shower tray repair at your home in Cubley
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 doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and chips on the edges.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your S36 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What we’re called out for in Cubley

Cubley questions
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to Cubley?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cubley and the rest of Barnsley. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cubley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Repairs by material
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 are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repairing versus replacing in Cubley
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
