Shower tray repair for Newtown homes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

Shower tray repair in Newtown, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new bathroom and cracks running from the waste, we can help, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Newtown and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Newtown

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Common reasons people in Newtown contact us include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scuffs and light scratches

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Newtown

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.

Newtown questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

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.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
