Need shower tray repair in Longcroft?

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

What affects the price in Longcroft

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longcroft use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Longcroft

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Are there extra charges for Longcroft?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do you need shower tray repair in Longcroft?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that flexes

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Repair or replace in Longcroft?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
