How we handle shower tray repair in Longford
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and light scratches and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Longford
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips on the edges

Longford questions
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
We work UK-wide, so Longford is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Longford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Repairing versus replacing in Longford
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
