What affects the price in Langley Common
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
If you’re in Langley Common and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Questions from Langley Common
How long does it take to cure?
Normally the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you come to Langley Common?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Langley Common. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Langley Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Do you need shower tray repair in Langley Common?
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Damage around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Movement when you stand on it
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
