Need shower tray repair in Long Load?

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Shower tray repair in Long Load without replacing anything

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches from cleaning or grit.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Long Load, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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 generally cheaper.

What affects the price in Long Load

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Long Load. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Long Load questions

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Long Load included. Travel is included in the price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Long Load?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What we’re called out for in Long Load

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
