Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

How we handle shower tray repair in Bangor

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and people most often call us about a crack across the base and movement when you stand on it.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlord and trade work in Bangor

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LL57 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Bangor

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

Bangor: your questions answered

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I have to be there?

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