The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Where you are, by postcode
A photo taken from further back
Any earlier repairs or coatings
Something in shot to show the size

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Newtown, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Shower tray repair at your home in Newtown

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you are dealing with scratches in the surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

We check the tray for movement first.
We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Have a window or extractor fan available
Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common questions in Newtown

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Newtown?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray after each shower
Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Get a moving tray checked

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newtown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
