How we handle shower tray repair in New Mills
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the waste and chips caused during fitting.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in New Mills and across Cornwall.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in New Mills and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Landlord and trade work in New Mills
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.
If you manage property in New Mills, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Do you need shower tray repair in New Mills?
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Look out for these signs:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches in the surface

- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
