What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Shower tray repair in Great Longstone without replacing anything
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Typical jobs include scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes, across stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we are called out for in Great Longstone
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips caused during fitting

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Great Longstone, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Longstone use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Great Longstone: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Great Longstone?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
