Shower tray repair near Blackdown

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Shower tray repair at your home in Blackdown

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and damage from a refit or building work, we can help, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Blackdown

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Blackdown and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Blackdown

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, 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, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
