Shower tray repair in Castle Caereinion, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches in the surface, across cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Landlord and trade work in Castle Caereinion

When to call us in Castle Caereinion

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage from a refit or building work

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Castle Caereinion

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you cover the entire of Powys?

Everywhere in the UK, Castle Caereinion included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

When can I use the shower again?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
