Repairing versus replacing in Arddleen

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for 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 match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Arddleen, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Arddleen: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Do you come to Arddleen?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Arddleen from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

For anyone letting property in or around Arddleen, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Common problems we fix in Arddleen

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
