FAQs for Linton Heath
Which areas do you work in?
All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Shower tray repair in Linton Heath, done in place

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places

Materials we work on in Linton Heath
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally 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
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
