How we handle shower tray repair in Longwood

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are movement when you stand on it and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Longwood

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HD3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Longwood

How soon can you come?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you cover Longwood?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Longwood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Kirklees. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

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.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Longwood

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longwood use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Longwood. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Longwood. 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 quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
