Shower tray repair for Caswell homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Caswell

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and scuffs and light scratches, we can generally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Caswell and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace in Caswell?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  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. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Caswell

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

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Swansea and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Questions from Caswell

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Swansea. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you work in Caswell?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Caswell and the rest of Swansea. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

  • A crack across the base

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What affects the price in Caswell

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote
