Shower tray repair in Blackthorn without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and scuffs and light scratches.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour mixed on the day to match
