New Quay questions

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are there extra charges for New Quay?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

If you’re in New Quay and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in New Quay

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.

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 trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Landlord and trade work in New Quay

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 anyone letting property in or around New Quay, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get 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 will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
