Landlords, agents and businesses in Langley End
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Shower tray repair at your home in Langley End
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and edge chips from dropped bottles.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repair or replace in Langley End?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Langley End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Langley End
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Langley End, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Langley End. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
