Your questions about shower tray repair in Blackboys
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Are there extra charges for Blackboys?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repairing versus replacing in Blackboys
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
