Shower Tray Repair in New Byth
Shower tray repair in and around New Byth: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips caused during fitting
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle shower tray repair in New Byth
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in New Byth as everywhere else we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
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.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Signs you need shower tray repair in New Byth
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Common questions in New Byth
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can I use the shower again?
Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
