Shower tray repair in Newton

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we handle shower tray repair in Newton

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Newton

Do you cover the whole of Wakefield?

All of Wakefield, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you come to Newton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Newton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
