Shower tray repair at your home in Langham
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can typically put it right, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Langham
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Langham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Langham
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
