What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairing versus replacing in Newton Harcourt

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Newton Harcourt customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Common problems we fix in Newton Harcourt

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

What affects the price in Newton Harcourt

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Newton Harcourt. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newton Harcourt. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
