Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Shower tray repair at your home in Newbiggin

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and chipped corners or rims.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newbiggin. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Newbiggin

Are you accredited?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover Newbiggin?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Newbiggin and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you need shower tray repair in Newbiggin?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Look out for these signs:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

  • Cast iron

  • Acrylic

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Newbiggin, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
