Shower tray repair for Newland homes

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

About our shower tray repair in Newland

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are edge chips from dropped bottles and a cracked shower tray.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Newland

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Newland. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

FAQs for Newland

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Are there extra charges for Newland?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What information do you need?

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Newland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace in Newland?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Newland

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
