DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Longshaw. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Longshaw and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Longshaw
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

- A tray that flexes
- Scratches in the surface
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A crack across the base
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Other services in Longshaw
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

- Usually one visit, start to finish

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longshaw as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
