Shower tray repair in Longhill, done in place

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We’re often asked to fix scratches in the surface and damage from a refit or building work, across stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What affects the price in Longhill

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Longhill. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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 the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry

FAQs for Longhill

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
