Shower tray repair at your home in New 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 crack doesn’t come back. If you’re dealing with a cracked shower tray and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can typically put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Questions from New Barn
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so New Barn is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
When to call us in New Barn
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A cracked shower tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
What affects the price in New Barn
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
For a price in New Barn, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
