About our shower tray repair in Longwick

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Longwick?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron

Common problems we fix in Longwick

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Longwick

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Longwick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Can I add another job to the visit?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
