Shower tray repair for Blackshaw Head homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

About our shower tray repair in Blackshaw Head

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and damage around the waste.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Blackshaw Head

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Blackshaw Head, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
