About our shower tray repair in Linstock
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and a tray that flexes, we can help, on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Linstock. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Questions from Linstock
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
