Langham questions
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
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’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
