Shower tray repair in Blakelow without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and chips or cracks by the plughole.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ST10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Questions from Blakelow
Do you work in Blakelow?
We do. We send a technician to Blakelow for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Blakelow. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What we’re called out for in Blakelow
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blakelow as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
