About our shower tray repair in Newmill
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include chips caused during fitting and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

FAQs for Newmill
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newmill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Newmill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
What we are called out for in Newmill
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Damage around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
