About our shower tray repair in Newtown

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Can I fix it myself?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Newtown

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

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

Do you cover the entire of Wigan?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newtown use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
