Trusted shower tray repair in Caehopkin

What we’re called out for in Caehopkin

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

How we handle shower tray repair in Caehopkin

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about chips caused during fitting and chipped corners or rims.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Caehopkin. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

Most customers in Caehopkin get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
