Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: 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 price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Longford questions
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How long before I can shower?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
When to call us in Longford
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Landlord and trade work in Longford
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SL3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
