Trusted shower tray repair in Newton

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

About our shower tray repair in Newton

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with damage from a refit or building work and damage around the waste, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Newton

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Questions from Newton

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

When can I use the shower again?

Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
