Trusted shower tray repair in Newbold Heath

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How to compare quotes

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Newbold Heath

Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why Newbold Heath customers choose us

Take a look at our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Newbold Heath

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Newbold Heath?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
