How we handle shower tray repair in Blackwater
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are cracks running from the waste and chips on the edges.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Blackwater, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackwater use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in Blackwater
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that flexes
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A crack across the base
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
FAQs for Blackwater
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Blackwater?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
What affects the price in Blackwater
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
