Shower tray repair in Cae-mawr

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Cae-mawr. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • 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.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Cae-mawr and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there. In a smaller place like Cae-mawr, parking is rarely a problem. If you are down a lane or a long drive, tell us when you book.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Our hiring checklist

Questions from Cae-mawr

Do you work for landlords with property near Llansamlet station?

Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly.

Do you take on commercial work in Cae-mawr?

Yes, commercial work is part of what we do. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What happens next?

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairing versus replacing in Cae-mawr

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. In a smaller place like Cae-mawr, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair is one visit from us.

Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
