If your shower tray has developed chips, cracks, or stains, shower tray repair Lingfield specialists can restore it to perfect condition without the expense and disruption of replacement. Common issues like impact damage from dropped bottles, hairline cracks from settlement, or discoloration from years of use can all be professionally repaired in just a few hours.
Lingfield's mix of period properties near the racecourse and modern developments around Town Hill presents diverse shower tray challenges. Victorian and Edwardian homes often feature older ceramic trays prone to crazing, while newer estates like Jenner's Field commonly have acrylic or resin trays susceptible to impact chips. With 30 years of experience across all tray types, we provide lasting repairs backed by our 12 months warranty, serving Lingfield and surrounding villages throughout the RH7 postcode.
Shower trays fail for various reasons, and understanding the cause helps ensure successful repair. Settlement cracks often appear in properties built on Lingfield's clay soil, particularly affecting rigid ceramic and stone-resin trays. These structural movements create stress fractures that, if left untreated, allow water penetration causing significant damage to floors and ceilings below.
Impact damage is the most common issue we see in shower tray repair Lingfield calls. Modern bathroom products in heavy glass bottles create perfect conditions for chips when dropped. Acrylic trays, popular in Lingfield's 1990s developments, show white stress marks around impact sites. Stone-resin trays chip cleanly but require expert color matching for invisible repairs.
Surface wear affects all shower trays eventually. Daily use with soaps and cleaning products gradually erodes the protective coating. Ceramic trays lose their glaze, becoming porous and stained. Acrylic surfaces develop a matt appearance and become harder to clean. Professional resurfacing restores the original finish, extending tray life by 10-15 years.
Replacing a shower tray in Lingfield typically costs £1,200-£2,800 including the new tray, labor, tiling, and making good. The work takes 2-3 days minimum, leaving you without shower facilities. There's also risk of damaging waterproof membranes, potentially causing future leaks. Properties with electric underfloor heating face additional complications and costs.
Professional repair costs just £195-£495, completing in 2-4 hours with minimal disruption. Your shower returns to service within 24 hours. Our repairs carry a 12 months warranty and, with proper care, last 10-15 years. For landlords with properties in Lingfield, quick repairs minimize void periods and tenant inconvenience.

Our 30 years of experience means we've encountered every type of shower tray damage imaginable. From hairline cracks in vintage cast iron trays in Lingfield's period properties to complex repairs on modern wet room floors, our technical expertise ensures lasting solutions.
We use advanced polymer compounds specifically formulated for bathroom environments. These materials bond at a molecular level with the tray substrate, creating repairs stronger than the original material. For Lingfield properties near the racecourse experiencing vibration from passing traffic, we employ flexible compounds that accommodate minor movement without cracking.
Color matching requires particular skill. Shower trays fade over time, and manufacturers regularly change their color formulations. We maintain an extensive color library including discontinued shades from major manufacturers. Our technicians blend custom colors on-site, ensuring perfect matches even for unusual or aged trays.
Surface texture replication distinguishes professional repairs from DIY attempts. Whether matching the orange-peel texture of older acrylic trays or the smooth finish of modern stone-resin, we recreate the exact surface profile. This attention to detail makes our repairs virtually invisible.
