How we handle shower tray repair in Longlevens

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and cracks running from the waste.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Longlevens. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Longlevens get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

There may be a mild smell during the work.
