How we handle shower tray repair in West Blackdene

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you are dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and scuffs and light scratches, we can help.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

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

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

When to call us in West Blackdene

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A damaged area around the waste

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlord and trade work in West Blackdene

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in West Blackdene

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to West Blackdene. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
