FAQs for Newington

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

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

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

Do you cover Newington?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Newington. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, 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.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

When to call us in Newington

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our pricing.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

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

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.
