About our shower tray repair in Blacknest

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that flexes.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

Common questions in Blacknest

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens next?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Blacknest. Prices don’t change with location.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Blacknest

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Blacknest, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlord and trade work in Blacknest

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blacknest use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
