Shower tray repair in Newington without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and a crack across the base, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

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

What we are called out for in Newington

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, generally along the edges or by the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A crack across the base

How to compare quotes

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
