Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Longlands: your questions answered

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Are there extra charges for Longlands?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Longlands?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Longlands. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
