Shower tray repair in Newtownards, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with chipped corners or rims and damage around the waste, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Ards.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in Newtownards
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A cracked shower tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions from Newtownards
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
