New England: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Are there extra charges for New England?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Do you cover the entire of Peterborough?
All of Peterborough, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
About New England
New England is about 1 mile north of Peterborough, in Peterborough. Clients in New England get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed price from your photos, then a visit to do the work. Our technicians cover all 18 towns and villages in Peterborough, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from New England to Birmingham (69 miles away).
We cover every part of PE1, PE4 and PE3 and the streets around it. Whether you live on York Road, Rock Road and Vere Road or a nearby road, we can come to you. Close by, we cover Westwood (1 mile south-west), Bretton (1 mile west), Eastfield (1 mile south-east), Boroughby (1 mile south) and Peterborough (1 mile south). We also work in nearby towns such as Stanground (3 miles south-east), Orton Waterville (4 miles south-west), Fletton (3 miles south), Orton (4 miles south-west), Orton Longueville (3 miles south-west) and Alwalton (4 miles south-west).

For rail, the closest station is Peterborough station, about 1.5 miles south of the centre.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to New England. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What else we do in New England
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Signs you need shower tray repair in New England
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Look out for any of the following:
- A tray that flexes
- Chips on the edges
- Damage around the waste
- A crack across the base
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
