About our shower tray repair in Bigyn

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are often asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and edge chips from dropped bottles, on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Questions from Bigyn

Which areas do you work in?

All of Carmarthenshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bigyn.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
