About our shower tray repair in Longtown
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and a damaged area around the waste.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Longtown and across Herefordshire.

Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Longtown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Longtown
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Longtown.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
