Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Newport
Damaged shower tray in Newport? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips caused during fitting
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we handle shower tray repair in Newport
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and a crack across the base, in ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newport as everywhere else we work.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Questions from Newport
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Newport, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you cover Newport?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Newport. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Newport and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Newport, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What we’re called out for in Newport
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack across the base
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Staining and dullness across the tray
