How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Newstead
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
Newstead: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you work in Newstead?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Newstead. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Landlord and trade work in Newstead
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Newstead. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Newstead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TD6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
