When to call us in Linwood
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.
Common reasons people in Linwood contact us include:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips on the edges
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A crack across the base
Rented homes near Johnstone station (about 1 mile south) change hands frequently, and repairing shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Shower tray repair at your home in Linwood
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and chips on the edges.
Around Linwood, bungalows and family homes often have walk-in showers. A firm tray can be repaired where it sits.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Linwood and across Renfrewshire.

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Linwood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

Should you replace it?
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. In a smaller place like Linwood, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair is one visit from us.
Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Questions from Linwood

Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Tell us about access and timings for the building.
I let a flat near Johnstone station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly, and a repair between tenants is normally quicker than replacing.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you cover the whole of Renfrewshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Linwood included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?

Do you charge for travel?

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Landlord and trade work in Linwood
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Linwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
