How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

New Invention questions
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover New Invention?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to New Invention. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

For landlords and businesses
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
What affects the price in New Invention
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
