Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Your questions about shower tray repair in Long Thurlow
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Long Thurlow. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Long Thurlow
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
