Questions from Aberdare West

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Aberdare West and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Aberdare West. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Common problems we fix in Aberdare West

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Aberdare West

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aberdare West as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Aberdare West. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
