How we handle shower tray repair in Blurton

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and chips or cracks by the plughole.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Blurton questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Blurton

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
