Shower tray repair in Longbarn, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and scratches from cleaning or grit.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Warrington.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Longbarn questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you work in Longbarn?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Longbarn and the rest of Warrington. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s 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 for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longbarn

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Longbarn

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Longbarn. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
