How we handle shower tray repair in Cae'r Bont

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. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and damage from a refit or building work, we can help.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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.

FAQs for Cae'r Bont

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you come to Cae'r Bont?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cae'r Bont from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Landlord and trade work in Cae'r Bont

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Cae'r Bont

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Look out for these signs:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A damaged area around the waste

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Materials we work on in Cae'r Bont

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Repairing versus replacing in Cae'r Bont

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
