Shower tray repair in Blackbrook, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include chipped corners or rims and staining and dullness across the tray, on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Blackbrook. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WA11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our prices page.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackbrook

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Blackbrook, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
