Shower tray repair for Longdown homes

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

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

Shower tray repair in Longdown, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, stained or worn surface and scuffs and light scratches.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

Repair or replace in Longdown?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

FAQs for Longdown

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
