Shower tray repair in Blackwaterfoot, done in place

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 repair lasts. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused during fitting and chips or cracks by the plughole.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Blackwaterfoot. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Blackwaterfoot

If you manage property in Blackwaterfoot, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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 repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Questions from Blackwaterfoot

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you come to Blackwaterfoot?

We do. We send a technician to Blackwaterfoot for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Blackwaterfoot

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
