Shower tray repair in Blackstone

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Shower tray repair in Blackstone, done in place

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. If you are dealing with a damaged area around the waste and a cracked shower tray, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackstone

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Blackstone

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Blackstone. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Blackstone, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Common problems we fix in Blackstone

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

  • When it can be used again
