Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Shower tray repair at your home in Newnham
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches in the surface.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Newnham: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Newnham, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Newnham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we are called out for in Newnham
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

- Chipped corners or rims
- Cracks running from the waste

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newnham. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Newnham, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
A DIY attempt is not 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 photos, as it can add time.
