Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
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.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Newport and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Summer Hill
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
