Shower tray repair at your home in Longthorpe
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We are often asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and damage from a refit or building work, in ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Longthorpe
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips on the edges
- Cracks running from the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A dull, stained or worn surface

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
