About our shower tray repair in Newtown

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you are dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and scuffs and light scratches, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

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 a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic

What affects the price in Newtown

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

Repair or replace in Newtown?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site

When to call us in Newtown

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice

Newtown questions

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WS6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Different materials, different repairs

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 trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
