Shower tray repair in Barry Waterfront

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Shower tray repair in Barry Waterfront, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and scuffs and light scratches, we can generally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Barry Waterfront. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Barry Waterfront: your questions answered

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What happens next?

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

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we’re called out for in Barry Waterfront

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
