What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

About our shower tray repair in Lingwood
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and a cracked shower tray.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Lingwood questions
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Landlord and trade work in Lingwood
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lingwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
