Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Malpas, Newport
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing in Malpas, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that flexes
- Scuffs and light scratches
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we handle shower tray repair in Malpas
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Malpas and across Newport.

Malpas: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole shower tray
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
