About our shower tray repair in Longdon

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a damaged area around the waste and chips caused during fitting.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Longdon and across Solihull.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Repair or replace in Longdon?

A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our pricing.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Is the work guaranteed?

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in Longdon

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
