Shower tray repair for Longnor homes

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

What we work on

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Longnor

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about damage around the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What we’re called out for in Longnor

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

FAQs for Longnor

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Will it make a mess?

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

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

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

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
