Longbar questions

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of North Ayrshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KA14 postcode.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to Longbar?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Longbar for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before booking

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Longbar. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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 quote without visiting.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Longbar

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
