Blackmore questions
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover Blackmore?
We do. We send a technician to Blackmore for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Shower tray repair in Blackmore without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused during fitting and chipped corners or rims.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Repair or replace in Blackmore?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Common problems we fix in Blackmore
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
