Repairing versus replacing in Longport

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Honest limits

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

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Longport

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longport

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longport as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Longport

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Longport. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Longport, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
