Shower tray repair in Borth-y-Gest, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and damage from a refit or building work, we can normally put it right, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Borth-y-Gest

When can I use the shower again?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I have to be there?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Borth-y-Gest. Prices don’t change with location.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we work on in Borth-y-Gest

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

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Borth-y-Gest, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
