How we handle shower tray repair in Newport
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Newport
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you come to Newport?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Newport. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better 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?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What else we do in Newport
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Newport
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Newport. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we are called out for in Newport
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, normally along the edges or by the waste.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
Repair or replace in Newport?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
