Shower tray repair near Newtown

Shower tray repair at your home in Newtown

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and cracks running from the waste, in ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Newtown

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Common questions in Newtown

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

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

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you work in Newtown?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Newtown and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newtown

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need shower tray repair in Newtown?

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
