Repairing versus replacing in Newby Bridge
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newby Bridge
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newby Bridge as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Newby Bridge get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Newby Bridge
