Shower tray repair in Langley, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a crack across the base and chips on the edges, we can help, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Do you need shower tray repair in Langley?
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips on the edges
- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Common questions in Langley
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
