Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair in Newick, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Newick. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Newick, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Common questions in Newick

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Newick?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Newick is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Newick

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Newick. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

See our prices page.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
