Shower tray repair near Long Sandall

How we handle shower tray repair in Long Sandall

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and a dull, stained or worn surface.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

FAQs for Long Sandall

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Long Sandall?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
