How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Advice

Your questions about shower tray repair in Blackamoor

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you cover the entire of Blackburn with Darwen?

We work UK-wide, so Blackamoor is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we’re called out for in Blackamoor

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Blackamoor, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 usually the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
