Shower tray repair in Blackpool Corner without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and damage around the waste, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Blackpool Corner
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Blackpool Corner is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What we are called out for in Blackpool Corner

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Blackpool Corner. What changes the price is:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
