Shower tray repair in Newton without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and a damaged area around the waste.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Newton and across Derbyshire.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Do you need shower tray repair in Newton?
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.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A cracked shower tray
- A damaged area around the waste

FAQs for Newton
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Newton.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newton. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE55 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
