Trusted shower tray repair in Newtown

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

How we handle shower tray repair in Newtown

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and damage around the waste.

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

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

FAQs for Newtown

Do you work in Newtown?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Newtown and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Are there extra charges for Newtown?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

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

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Our hiring checklist

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Newtown. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
