Shower tray repair at your home in Longsdon
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and chips or cracks by the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Longsdon: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Longsdon?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Repair or replace in Longsdon?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
