Shower tray repair in Newstead

About our shower tray repair in Newstead

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We work on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked shower tray and damage from a refit or building work.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Newstead. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Questions from Newstead

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

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

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

Do you cover Newstead?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Newstead. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Do you need shower tray repair in Newstead?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that flexes

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newstead

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

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
