Shower tray repair in Linford, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and chips caused during fitting.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Linford
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- A tray that flexes
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- A cracked shower tray

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Thurrock and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Common questions in Linford
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What areas do you cover?
All of Thurrock, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
