Need shower tray repair in Longford?

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Shower tray repair in Longford, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and a crack across the base, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Longford questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Is it messy?

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

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

We work UK-wide, so Longford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Longford?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Longford

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

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. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

When to call us in Longford

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
