FAQs for Newbury
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
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 pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Shower tray repair in Newbury without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s damage around the waste and chips caused during fitting, we can normally put it right, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Newbury and across West Berkshire.

What affects the price in Newbury
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Newbury. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Do you need shower tray repair in Newbury?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
