How we handle shower tray repair in Longstanton

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are chipped corners or rims and cracks running from the waste.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Longstanton as everywhere else we work.

Longstanton questions

Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Longstanton and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we are called out for in Longstanton

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CB24 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
