Shower tray repair near Langley

Shower tray repair in Langley, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with a cracked shower tray and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Langley. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Langley: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Langley?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SK11 postcode.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long before I can shower?

Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Repair or replace in Langley?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
