Shower tray repair near Longley

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Shower tray repair in Longley, done in place

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage in a new bathroom and a cracked shower tray.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Longley questions

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Are there extra charges for Longley?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Longley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste

  • Damage from a refit or building work

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
