Book shower tray repair in Blackness

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Shower tray repair in Blackness, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re often asked to fix movement when you stand on it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Blackness. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Do you need shower tray repair in Blackness?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Blackness

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

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.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
