Signs you need shower tray repair in Longtown

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Longtown: your questions answered
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
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 isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Longtown?

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Longtown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
