How we handle shower tray repair in Newnham
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Newnham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newnham
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Newnham: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Newnham?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Newnham. Prices do not change with location.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
How long before I can shower?
Normally the day after. We will confirm before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole shower tray
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Newnham
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that flexes
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
