Shower tray repair for Capel Dewi homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Capel Dewi

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Capel Dewi

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Capel Dewi, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Common questions in Capel Dewi

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Are you accredited?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Do you cover the whole of Carmarthenshire?

The whole UK, including all of Carmarthenshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Capel Dewi.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Capel Dewi

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Capel Dewi as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

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, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Capel Dewi

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Damage around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
