Shower tray repair in Blackford

Shower tray repair at your home in Blackford

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and people most often call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and damage from a refit or building work.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Blackford as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Do you need shower tray repair in Blackford?

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that flexes

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

FAQs for Blackford

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Do you come to Blackford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Blackford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
