Shower Tray Repair for Blubberhouses homes
We travel to Blubberhouses for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chipped corners or rims
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
About our shower tray repair in Blubberhouses
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and a crack across the base, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Common questions in Blubberhouses
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
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.
