  • A cracked shower tray
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

10 questions to ask before booking

Shower tray repair in Langley, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and a cracked shower tray, on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Langley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Langley: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

Everywhere in the UK, Langley included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What affects the price in Langley

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you are in Langley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
