Shower tray repair in Newbottle, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. If you’re dealing with damage around the waste and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Newbottle
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common questions in Newbottle
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Newbottle?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When to call us in Newbottle
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A cracked shower tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips on the edges
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to look after the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
