Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
About our shower tray repair in Longbridge
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with cracks running from the waste and chipped corners or rims, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Longbridge?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Longbridge: your questions answered
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work in Longbridge?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Longbridge from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
