About our shower tray repair in Newington

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. If you’re dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and scuffs and light scratches, we can help, on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Newington

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Common reasons people in Newington contact us include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work

  • Who turns up on the day

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Questions from Newington

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Landlord and trade work in Newington

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Newington, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What affects the price in Newington

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
