Landlord and trade work in Linthorpe
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we’re called out for in Linthorpe
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
