Trusted shower tray repair in Newtown

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Shower tray repair at your home in Newtown

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are damage around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

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

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Newtown

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

Repairing versus replacing in Newtown

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why Newtown customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it

Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Newtown. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Common questions in Newtown

When can I use the shower again?

Typically the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work in Newtown?

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
