Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Newby clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Newby

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Newby. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newby

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
