Shower tray repair near Newlands

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new bathroom and a dull, stained or worn surface.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Do you need shower tray repair in Newlands?

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. 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 the repair is polished to match the shine.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Staffordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

What affects the price in Newlands

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
