Shower tray repair near Newport

What we are called out for in Newport

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

FAQs for Newport

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you come to Newport?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Newport from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Newport, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
