How we handle shower tray repair in King's Newton

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks running from the waste and damage from a refit or building work.

Somewhere like King's Newton, showers are frequently in converted or older buildings, where floors may be timber. A crack is only repaired once we know the tray is firm.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

King's Newton: your questions answered

Can you repair shower trays at a school or business in King's Newton?

Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. We will agree timings that suit the building.

Will you travel to King's Newton?

Of course; we work in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the day after.

Do you cover King's Newton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to King's Newton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in King's Newton?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. In an older home in a village like King's Newton, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic

What we’re called out for in King's Newton

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A crack across the base
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Facilities teams at buildings such as Melbourne Infant School can book us for changing-room showers too.

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go. Somewhere like King's Newton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there is no second trip.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
