How we handle shower tray repair in Newhaven

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and scuffs and light scratches, we can help, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Newhaven

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Newhaven and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Newhaven

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Your questions about shower tray repair in Newhaven

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, usually the next day.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Common problems we fix in Newhaven

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

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. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
