Shower tray repair in Newgate Street without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and scratches in the surface.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newgate Street. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Newgate Street. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SG13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Other services in Newgate Street
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
