Shower tray repair at your home in Linton
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and people most often call us about a tray that flexes and staining and dullness across the tray.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- Colour mixed on the day to match

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Store bottles off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Common questions in Linton
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can

Landlord and trade work in Linton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Common problems we fix in Linton
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Look out for any of the following:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Cracks running from the waste
- A damaged area around the waste
