FAQs for Orton Longueville
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Orton Longueville.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Orton Longueville?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Repairing versus replacing in Orton Longueville
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Orton Longueville. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Orton Longueville. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we are called out for in Orton Longueville
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
- How changes to the job are handled
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
