How we handle shower tray repair in Newtown Common
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from a refit or building work and a crack across the base.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Newtown Common: your questions answered
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

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

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What we’re called out for in Newtown Common
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A damaged area around the waste
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
