Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Shower tray repair in New Inn without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a crack across the base, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Questions from New Inn
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit

- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in New Inn, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
