Shower tray repair in Newton on Trent without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches from cleaning or grit.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Newton on Trent

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you come to Newton on Trent?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Newton on Trent from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Newton on Trent

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Newton on Trent clients choose us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before you book
