How we handle shower tray repair in Newtown

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Common questions in Newtown

What do you need from me?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Are there extra charges for Newtown?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
