Shower tray repair at your home in Newburgh
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and a damaged area around the waste, we can help.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Newburgh questions
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
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.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newburgh as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
