Shower tray repair for Blackwall homes

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Blackwall and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Shower tray repair in Blackwall without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and a tray that flexes.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Blackwall: your questions answered

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

  • Chipped corners or rims

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Blackwall

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Blackwall clients choose us

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
