About our shower tray repair in Newington

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s chips on the edges and staining and dullness across the tray, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 generally the cheaper route.

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.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

What we work on

  • Cast iron

Your questions about shower tray repair in Newington

Are you accredited?

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

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you come to Newington?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Newington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long before I can shower?

Generally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: 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.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

When to call us in Newington

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Newington

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
