What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Shower tray repair at your home in Newton

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 so the repair blends in. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and people most often call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that flexes.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

Materials we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Newton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Newton

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Newton

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Newton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you need shower tray repair in Newton?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A cracked shower tray

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
