About Newton
Newton is about 2 miles east of Sudbury, in Suffolk. From the centre of Newton to the outlying streets, we offer exactly the same service: a fixed price, a tidy visit and a guarantee. Newton is one of 731 towns and villages in Suffolk where we work. We work right across the region, from Newton to London (about 53 miles away).
Our visits in CO10 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Local streets include Church Road, Nicholsons Court and Alston Close, all of which we cover. We also cover the places around Newton: Sackers Green (1 mile south-west), Little Cornard (1 mile south-west), Great Waldingfield (2 miles north-west), Chilton (2 miles north-west) and Great Cornard (2 miles west).

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 often lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
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.
FAQs for Newton
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry

What affects the price in Newton
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
