Shower tray repair in Lindale without replacing anything
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you’re dealing with damage from a refit or building work and cracks running from the waste, we can typically put it right, on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Lindale
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
When can I use the shower again?
Usually the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Lindale
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lindale. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, 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, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the 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 generally usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Most clients in Lindale get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
