Shower tray repair for Bochrwyd homes

What we are called out for in Bochrwyd

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Shower tray repair at your home in Bochrwyd

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and a cracked shower tray, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Powys and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Bochrwyd questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you quote from photos?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LD3 postcode.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Most customers in Bochrwyd get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
