DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle shower tray repair in Long Lee
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chipped corners or rims, across ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Long Lee. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Long Lee
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bradford and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Long Lee, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Long Lee
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Long Lee. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
