Shower tray repair near Bridgend

Shower tray repair in Bridgend without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about scuffs and light scratches and chips on the edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Bridgend?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Work for landlords and builders

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.

If you manage property in Bridgend, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. 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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

What we are called out for in Bridgend

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Cracks running from the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

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

What affects the price in Bridgend

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Common questions in Bridgend

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the following day.

Are there extra charges for Bridgend?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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