Shower tray repair in Bwlchgwyn

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin

How we handle shower tray repair in Bwlchgwyn

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and scuffs and light scratches.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our full price list.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we’re called out for in Bwlchgwyn

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste

FAQs for Bwlchgwyn

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you come to Bwlchgwyn?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Bwlchgwyn and the rest of Wrexham. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bwlchgwyn. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bwlchgwyn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
