What we are called out for in Lansdowne

The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Questions to ask before booking

About our shower tray repair in Lansdowne
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and chips on the edges.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lansdowne as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Lansdowne
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I fix it myself?
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 generally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
