Shower tray repair in Newbarns without replacing anything

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Newbarns and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Repair or replace in Newbarns?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page.

What we are called out for in Newbarns

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.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to care for the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Newbarns

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Newbarns. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Newbarns

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
