Shower tray repair at your home in Longburton
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with chipped corners or rims and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can generally put it right, on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the whole UK

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Longburton
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Longburton included. Travel is included in the price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Longburton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
