Your questions about shower tray repair in Little Longstone
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Little Longstone, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips on the edges
