Newnham: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can I use the shower again?
Generally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When to call us in Newnham
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scuffs and light scratches

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Newnham. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Newnham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
