FAQs for Newtown St Boswells
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work in Newtown St Boswells?
We do. We send a technician to Newtown St Boswells for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Newtown St Boswells
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we’re called out for in Newtown St Boswells
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Look out for any of the following:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A damaged area around the waste
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
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.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
