Shower tray repair for Newbury's homes

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

About our shower tray repair in Newbury's

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches in the surface and chips on the edges, on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Newbury's

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Newbury's, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

When to call us in Newbury's

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
