Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Shower tray repair in Longton without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We are often asked to fix chips caused during fitting and movement when you stand on it, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Longton: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do you come to Longton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Longton and the rest of Staffordshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day 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.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you need shower tray repair in Longton?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chipped corners or rims

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
