About our shower tray repair in Longton
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with a cracked shower tray and movement when you stand on it, we can typically put it right, on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Longton
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Do you need shower tray repair in Longton?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A crack across the base
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
