Repairing versus replacing in Newtown
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Fixed prices from your photos
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
For a price in Newtown, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Do you need shower tray repair in Newtown?
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches in the surface
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Newtown: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
When can I use the shower again?
Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
