DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
About our shower tray repair in Linfitts
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and a damaged area around the waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repair or replace in Linfitts?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- No need to remove anything
- A fixed quote before booking

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
When to call us in Linfitts
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims

Common questions in Linfitts
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How long before I can shower?
Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Linfitts. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
