About our shower tray repair in Newport
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and a tray that flexes.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 pictures.

What affects the price in Newport
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Newport get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Get a quote
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HU15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Common questions in Newport
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the following day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
