Shower tray repair for Caerwys homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Caerwys

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Caerwys and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Repair or replace in Caerwys?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Take a look at our pricing.

What affects the price in Caerwys

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Caerwys: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you cover the whole of Flintshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Caerwys. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you come to Caerwys?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Caerwys for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What we’re called out for in Caerwys

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caerwys use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
