About our shower tray repair in Longford
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include chipped corners or rims and scratches from cleaning or grit, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Coventry.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What affects the price in Longford
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Longford. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Longford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What we do, step by step
On the day, 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 for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Repair or replace in Longford?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour-matched on site

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Longford.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
