Shower tray repair in Longridge

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Longridge. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Longridge and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Shower tray repair in Longridge, done in place

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and movement when you stand on it, across ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
