How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

About our shower tray repair in Newsholme

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are damage from a refit or building work and damage around the waste.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Read our pricing.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Newsholme

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Newsholme

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Newsholme?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What affects the price in Newsholme

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newsholme. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
