Shower tray repair for Black Street homes

Shower tray repair in Black Street without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and a dull, stained or worn surface, on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Black Street

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Black Street get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Black Street

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover Black Street?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Black Street and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Black Street. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
