About our shower tray repair in Blackfen

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and chips caused during fitting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Blackfen: your questions answered

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the next day.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Blackfen?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How soon can you come?

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

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Blackfen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Blackfen clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

What we are called out for in Blackfen

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

What affects the price in Blackfen

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Blackfen. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
