About our shower tray repair in Longslow

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. We are frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and scratches in the surface, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Longslow and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Longslow

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you cover Longslow?

We do. We send a technician to Longslow for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally 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

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common problems we fix in Longslow

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Common reasons people in Longslow contact us are:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  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 normally usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
