How we handle shower tray repair in Newington Butts
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and scuffs and light scratches.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Landlord and trade work in Newington Butts
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Questions from Newington Butts
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the next day.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Newington Butts.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Newington Butts and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
