Trusted shower tray repair in Brecon

Shower tray repair at your home in Brecon

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and chips or cracks by the plughole.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should you replace it?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. 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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brecon

If you manage property in Brecon, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we work on in Brecon

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

When to call us in Brecon

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Brecon

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do you cover Brecon?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Brecon and the rest of Powys. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
