Do you need shower tray repair in Blacksnape?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Common reasons people in Blacksnape contact us include:
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that flexes

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
How it works
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 a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- 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
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
