Shower tray repair in Longstowe without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Longstowe
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you cover Longstowe?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Longstowe. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Do you need shower tray repair in Longstowe?
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A cracked shower tray
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole shower tray
If you’re in Longstowe and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
