Shower tray repair for Newburn homes

FAQs for Newburn

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work in Newburn?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Newburn. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

About our shower tray repair in Newburn

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are often asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Materials we work on in Newburn

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

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Newburn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Repair or replace in Newburn?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Newburn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Newburn customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our pricing.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newburn. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
