How we handle shower tray repair in Langton

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and a damaged area around the waste, in ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Langton?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

FAQs for Langton

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Langton included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Langton.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Advice

What affects the price in Langton

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Langton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
