Shower tray repair at your home in Blackburn

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and people most often call us about a tray that flexes and edge chips from dropped bottles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings

Signs you need shower tray repair in Blackburn

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Blackburn

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you work in Blackburn?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Blackburn and the rest of Blackburn with Darwen. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the entire of Blackburn with Darwen?

The entire UK, including all of Blackburn with Darwen. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Blackburn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
