Shower tray repair in Harrowbarrow without replacing anything
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and scratches in the surface.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
Landlord and trade work in Harrowbarrow
If you manage property in Harrowbarrow, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Repairing versus replacing in Harrowbarrow
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Harrowbarrow. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
