Shower tray repair for Newton Stewart homes

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How we handle shower tray repair in Newton Stewart

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We’re often asked to fix damage around the waste and a tray that flexes, in cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Do you need shower tray repair in Newton Stewart?

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Newton Stewart

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
