Trusted shower tray repair in Blackwell

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

About our shower tray repair in Blackwell

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about chips on the edges and a tray that flexes.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Blackwell

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackwell as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Should you replace it?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What affects the price in Blackwell

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Blackwell

Do you come to Blackwell?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Blackwell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

DIY kit or professional 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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

When to call us in Blackwell

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
