Common questions in Long Buckby

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Long Buckby?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

About our shower tray repair in Long Buckby

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches in the surface, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repairing versus replacing in Long Buckby

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Long Buckby customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the whole UK

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Long Buckby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
