Shower tray repair near Blackpark

About our shower tray repair in Blackpark

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and movement when you stand on it.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Blackpark, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Blackpark questions

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

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.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Blackpark

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price

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

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

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Blackpark

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

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
