Trusted shower tray repair in Capel-y-graig

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we handle shower tray repair in Capel-y-graig

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and a damaged area around the waste, in ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

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

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

FAQs for Capel-y-graig

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do you work in Capel-y-graig?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Landlord and trade work in Capel-y-graig

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.
