Shower tray repair in Newlands without replacing anything
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We’re often asked to fix chips on the edges and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Common questions in Newlands
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Newlands.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newlands
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Newlands
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.
Look out for these signs:
- A crack across the base
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
