How we handle shower tray repair in Aberdare

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 crack does not come back. We work on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and a dull, stained or worn surface.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repair or replace in Aberdare?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our pricing.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

What we are called out for in Aberdare

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Questions from Aberdare

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Are there extra charges for Aberdare?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
