Shower tray repair for Newhall homes

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Shower tray repair at your home in Newhall

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 enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and light scratches and a dull, stained or worn surface.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Repair or replace in Newhall?

A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip.

Questions from Newhall

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Newhall. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Should I try a DIY kit 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

When to call us in Newhall

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
